Gamble Responsibly

[slapper]

Irresponsible gambling have lead many people to make very big mistakes in life, gambling is not a bad thing but there are several harmful effect it could cause when people fail to apply the risk management in it, these effect are very harmful and could lead one to death, imagine losing a huge sum of money maybe the one you borrowed or money for rent to gambling, you could develop a high blood pressure and die that's why it's advised that people should be very cautious while gambling, the best way to see gambling is as a form of entertainment, not a major source of income or a place where you go double your money, because success is not 100% guaranteed, you might make profit and you might lose as well, therefore it's also wise to bet with a money you could lose without having remorse, nobody  willingly lose money but as an individual you must have a spare cash asides from the one meant for other bills, so that spare cash is the one that you should use to try out luck since gambling is a game of chance.
 Another thing is that people don't know when to quit, you'll see someone losing up to 100$ daily and making little profits in return but would continue playing and believe they'll win a jackpot someday, yes there's a probability of that happening but chances are low and before you realise you've lost more than enough money to the platform, knowing when to quit makes one a responsible gambler because it would help you to study the game and strategise on games with low risk also it would help avoid reckless spending and much loss of funds

Those that approach it with caution and forethought can learn a lot about odds, probability, and risk management, in my opinion. I agree that the stakes should be low enough that we can afford to lose them, but I also believe that the process of analysis has far-reaching benefits, including the development of better decision-making abilities in a wide range of contexts

Beyond gambling, the ability to stop is a valuable life skill. It might be applied to a business choice, a terrible habit, or a poisonous relationship. The conversation has to expand beyond gambling to the development of more generally useful talents

Responsible gambling is really the way to avoid gambling addiction since it applies gambling moderation and self-control.  And for those gambling addicts that wanted to be cured of addiction and at the same time avoide relapses, it is best to look for medical advice and treatment.

Responsible gambling allows us to prevent the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling because we know that gambling can really tempt us by providing promotions that make us want to join. By moderating ourselves, it can be good self-control while gambling so that we don't lose much money at the gambling table. But gambling addicts who want to recover have to be fully aware that the problem is with them, and they have to seek help from others if they cannot overcome it.

Even they are keep denying that there's already a problem with their addiction they will continue to proceed and keep trying to recover their money,the kind of people who needed help both from mental professional as the balance of controlling their emotions is needed to address, if they have that will then they can recover but if there's none they will continue to suffer.

~snip~

Well, gamblers should first realize that they are addicted and wanted to be cured to start the treatment.  Without the realization and wanting to be cured, all the efforts to help the gambling addict will only be in vain.

Asking for help from the people around them can give gambling addicts hope to recover. The desire to recover from gambling addiction will be even greater when the people around him really show their help. And everyone's plan to help the gambling addict will really work when the gambling addict can really recover from his gambling addiction.

That desire together with actions and dedication to solve this issue can help them to cope up with addiction, responsible gambling is always in your own control and with your set limitations that you never break and exceed.

Recently, I came up with the idea that addicted people need to watch videos from interviews with the same addicted people as they are more often. I saw a couple of these videos, where people talk about how they started playing (spontaneously) and how they sank to the bottom. It's really scary. They also tell how they live now, mostly with huge debts that they are trying to pay off.
In these videos they would recognize themselves, which could prevent them from playing out of control.

The think is whether the video would have an effect to addicted people.  It may be effective to those who are just starting up with gambling and those who still have control over their sanity but I doubt that the majority of gambling addicts will reflect on their actions especially when they are in a situation where denial of being a gambling addict is the strongest.  Those who are just starting to get addicted may get an ideao and may get afraid and be saved by watching the effect of gambling addiction, but I really doubt about its effect to a person who is deeply addicted to gambling.

[carlfebz2]

I still hard to believe if a gambling addict will stop and realized if they was wrong with their gambling habit, because there are many gambling addict get forced by their parents to not gamble and get kicked from their company, but it doesn't make them to stop gambling.

There's nothing wrong about this thread, but if you hope you can help an addict by creating this thread, you shouldn't hope to high.

Theirs one my thread I made i stated it that gambling addict is like someone who some virus is running through the blood vessels, and you very well that anyone a virus touched the blood it will be very difficult before the virus will be flushed out of the blood, the way I'm seeing addicted gambler I don't think that someone can stop a gambling addicted person not to pertake in gambling, the only thing I said before now is that you can move the person to a place it can not see opportunity to gamble.

When addicted to gambling, it works in a way that seems to mix with the blood.  Just as blood cannot be removed from the body, it is difficult for them to give up gambling. That is why gambling has to be controlled from the beginning so that it cannot control our-self. Management of animals is very difficult so we have to be careful in all directions otherwise we can't get into a good position. And we have to take responsibility for our own losses

Basically, if gambling is in the blood of those who gamble, it is very difficult to get out of it. A gambling addict can never stop gambling, just like a drug addict can never stop intoxicating for a day, same is the case with a gambler. Must control oneself while gambling so as not to become addicted to gambling. And if you can control yourself from this while gambling, then you can prevent yourself from becoming addicted to gambling in the future only if you do not harm yourself in the future by gambling.

This is a very good idea but I bet people don't regard it until it's too late. I wonder if anyone will decide to first listen to or watch about the bad side of gambling before they do it, they unfortunately, go straight to the deal and the results might either be adventurous or bad to them depending on how they are matured or let their emotions to control them.

But to those who are addicted, those videos/documentary might help them to pull out of it as it could be a very good chance for them, particularly if it's coming from true people that was badly hit by it but eventually got delivered.

Most of the time on which people would really be realizing things on the time that they are already experiencing hardships or unfortunate events on which this would really be that so common if we do speak about

gambling effects specially if you had already spend up tons and losing lots of money and the worst, you get addicted to it. On the time that you do still have money, then you wont really be bothering yourself on
stopping midway because you do still have that kind of hope that you would be able to make profits or winning along the way on which this is a common approach by most gamblers on which they would really be that mindful about those probabilities and doesnt mind about the consequences in terms of probabilities on losing the next bet.

If you are already that spending on the amount on which you cant afford to lose or already that spending those emergency funds of yours then you are really that putting yourself
into great trouble later on.

Every gambling addict who is crazy about gambling will always deny that he is addicted and people like this are much more difficult to cure even though they have been assisted by a mental professional or psychiatric doctor.
Talking about stopping gambling addiction is very easy, but when it comes to practice, it is difficult and not as easy as we imagine.

Sometimes a person forgets their initial goal when they enter the gambling industry so they cannot have a sense of responsibility and are affected by the negative effects of addiction to always have a win.

~ The best way to treat addictions is total avoidance of gambling or any substance that got you addicted in the first place, take drugs addiction or alcohol addiction for example, once a user is abusing the aforementioned substance, in other to withdraw from it, the user has to take a deliberate pull out and it must be 100% pull out, that way, the user can abstain totally from such endorsement.

The topic of gambling addiction has become prominent in recent time, times all things are equal, and members here adhere to the various warning, then by now there should be able to know that, it is better to avoid gambling addiction because withdrawal from it addiction is almost impossible.

As I said, you need a professional for that. Total avoidance may look good at the beginning, but then it can trigger something we don't want. It's like self-medication, a very risky thing to do.

You have a point here. There’s no such thing as reduce addiction especially on gambling which online casino is accessible to everyone. Our mind will keep looking on it once we Are hook on something else. We can take illegal drugs as an example here. There’s no way to reduce addiction as long as the user is exposed to substances since he use as an escape when he feel stress. This is same gambling addiction but the difference is gambling is not illegal which is very hard to control once you get addicted because you have no sense of limitations since that is completely legal.

Thanks. Only I think if gambling was made illegal, that wouldn't help potential or current gambling addicts. Same as with illegal drugs, prohibition is not the answer. Those same drugs that ruin lives of some people, can be very helpful for others when prescribed by a doctor and taken correctly.

It's hard for people like that to cure their gambling addiction because of the denials they make. And even though some people reach out to help him, that person doesn't understand that he has a gambling addiction and maybe it's really bad. And perhaps this requires attention from the people around him to pay more attention to him so that he can slowly realize that he has a severe gambling addiction problem.

That desire together with actions and dedication to solve this issue can help them to cope up with addiction, responsible gambling is always in your own control and with your set limitations that you never break and exceed.

Therefore, we must continue to care for ourselves to remain responsible gamblers. We don't need to follow people who use a lot of money to gamble because we don't have much money to gamble ourselves. That's all we can do by always staying within limits so we don't lose control and can still enjoy gambling.

A novice gambler faces many losses when he comes to gambling. Because he is not experienced about gambling and an old gambler is always on top of winning because he is very experienced because he has been with gambling for a long time. So I say a newbie gambler should take rest whenever he gets addicted because gambling addict can never get success. But one should not go for long rest but stick with gambling and gamble with small amount of money then being experienced will help. It is best to stick to gambling with small amounts and enjoy it.

Educational videos from psychiatrists or personal experiences from gamblers who quit are actually very good for helping gambling addicts get rid of their habit, i took a few paragraphs from an article aimed at gambling addicts,

Remember that quitting gambling addiction is a unique journey for each individual. The process of quitting addiction will not last overnight. Give yourself time and patience to face this challenge. besides that it is also important for you to recognize situations or emotions that trigger the desire to gamble, and find ways to deal with them in a healthier way.

The point is that stopping gambling is impossible IF the person does not have a great desire to stop gambling activities that have gone too far.  but if a gambling addict is able to recover from his addiction and become a responsible gambler, it is not impossible that he will become a professional gambler ^{(good or bad depending on the person's choice)}

How can you try to drag someone who is not sick to the hospital and force him or her to take drugs and you expect such person to comply, its practically not possible, a gambling addict who is still very comfortable with his or her gambling lifestyle is still just like every normal gambler out there, there is no way you expect such a person to accept that he or she is addicted when he or she is not regretting any of his or her gambling decisions..

the only time help can be effective on a gambling addict is only when he or she have come to the realization that he or she is truly addicted and needs help, that is only offering to help can be welcomed, any other time outside this, you are just wasting your time.

Logically right, simply to say that they need something but without self admission they will not accept any help that you are trying to provide, once they already feels that regret and they are willing to submit themselves in admitting that there are problems in their gambling activities,that's the only time that you can help them and convince them if what is needed to help them to skip from these activities, realization is on the gambler mindsets, self-will is what they need to cure the problem.

I highly agree with this statement, gambling addicts are not just some deranged person that needs to be strapped and brought to a psychiatric ward. Gambling addict who are still capable will still act normally and can't be noticed unless that person admits it himself.  I believe it is more essential to just do some addiction check survey on that person and unless he confessed and wanted to be admitted for rehabilitation, no one can do about it.

the only time help can be effective on a gambling addict is only when he or she have come to the realization that he or she is truly addicted and needs help, that is only offering to help can be welcomed, any other time outside this, you are just wasting your time.

True that.  No matter how hard we try to cure an addicted person as long as he is in denial and does not want to be cured of the addiction, the therapy will be useless.

If he realizes this, starts to accept his losses, and is willing to learn more about all things gambling, he will definitely be able to prevent big losses and even control his gambling properly. It is simply a matter of whether or not one is aware of his shortcomings in gambling so that he can learn a lot. Beginner gamblers must be able to take good care of themselves, and while they haven't had a bad experience with gambling, they must start to control themselves in gambling. If he can do that, he can gamble in peace, he doesn't need to lose a lot of money, and the important thing is that he can enjoy gambling as he should.

It all depends on the person still having control, so I think it's a bit useless to contact a professional if there is no desire from the addict to recover and stop gambling because it is difficult to do so, I have a friend where he has a wife who is frustrated to make her husband stop gambling even there is no other way but to invite professionals even though it still doesn't help.

This method turned out to not help him and was just a waste of time and money because his husband had no desire to stop gambling and had become a heavy addict, it all depended on himself if his husband wanted to stop gambling of course the professional could help him perfectly, but the result nothing and no, until now my friend has separated from his wife because his wife is tired of her husband's bad behavior.

Following your statement, indeed there are people who really push their way to continue betting even the amount of money they lose inside gambling is way high from the usual budget, with desperation, instead of stopping those addicted gamblers will find ways to continue to the point that they will be borrowing money, selling their things or even to do illegal things just to please their lust of playing, those kinds of mindsets are already alarming and they needed deeper attentions.

If they are willing to take that therapy with an open arm and a good self-will, chances of stopping or moving away from this kind of addiction is possible, else, they are going to waste time and lot of money and it will result it to nothing at all.

It is absolutely certain that the best solution to such a problem for such a player would be a complete refusal to further participate in any gambling.  However, far from all people can do this, especially if problems have already begun in the family due to too much loss and due to the fact that the player began to use the family budget money necessary for the normal life of all family members, children, of course, first of all  .  If such a player could not stop playing before such gambling costs, then it will be very difficult to recover further.  Because such an addiction is definitely already a disease, and without a doctor and medicines, most likely he will not be able to recover without outside help.

However, the player must be able to stop even if he finds it difficult because it is for his own good and that of his family. He can't use the budget for his family because it can disrupt his family's finances. Maybe he can talk to family members so they can help him overcome his gambling addiction problem while accompanying him to go to a therapist. But this requires openness from the person to tell the truth about what happened to him. But the average person addicted to gambling will not tell others that he is addicted to gambling.

I think you are absolutely correct in pointing out that such a person will, in the vast majority of cases, not tell anyone about their gambling addiction. 
And this is where the main problem of such players lies.  A person cannot say this because other people will naturally reproach, scold and even insult him and say that he is so weak-willed that he cannot stop playing.  This psychological brake in the behavior of a gambler over time constantly only makes it worse and worse, and painful gambling only gets worse.  For this reason, the sooner he turns to specialists, the easier it will be for him to overcome such addiction to gambling.  And the easier and simpler will be the life of his entire family if the family does not have the problem of constant daily struggle with the gambling addiction of one of the family members. 
I still think that without the help of specialists in these matters, if not impossible, then certainly it is very difficult to cope.

I think a lot of people vastly overestimate free will. Some time ago people and society also thought that depression is just an excuse for a person who is bored with life or has nothing to do. The good thing is that now science has advanced and now people with impaired chemical metabolism in the brain can be helped with medicine.

The same is true for avid gamblers. We must admit that many of us are gamblers at heart, but often something stops us - fear of losing money, spouse\children or simply the desire to take risks is not as strong as the fear of getting some negative experience.
Unfortunately, there are always some people around us who have a higher pain threshold and there is little stopping them, even family and children.

So they except for a specialist who will help direct the gambling in the right direction, for example, in the work that you will love and from which you will enjoy, little help. Even the family is of little help in this situation, because a person who can not quit gambling and plays to the detriment of himself and his family, becomes like a drug addict and can not help himself.

Indeed. Awareness of the problem and its acceptance plays a significant role in recovering from gambling addiction. Once someone falls into addiction, it requires medical intervention from the professionals. Treatment is necessary as well as counseling and guidance from the medical practitioners. This is to avoid encountering relapse and to have a successful progress about treating the addiction from its roots and not just on the surface.

Although it could be costly which is why most people don't receive such treatment and becomes more and more addicted into it as time goes by. Hopefully, there will come a time wherein medical help is more affordable and accessible to everyone. And hopefully there will be more seminars about the awareness of gambling consequences so that people will also know about the negative effects, not just the positive ones.

In this case, openness is needed from the gambling addict to make people around him understand that he needs help. And with his family's help, the problem of gambling addiction can be solved properly, and gamblers who are addicted to gambling can also manage their lives freely without thinking about gambling. Seeing a specialist can help a gambling addict overcome his addiction and make a new person who has successfully quit gambling. And when he is successful, he can share his story of getting out of gambling with people who are also addicted to gambling so that this can make their spirits rise and have the desire to get well too.
