Gamble Responsibly

[carlisle1]

If the person is not willing to admit that there's already a problem with how they manage their gambling activities, expect that there
are worse things to happen, that person needs more attentions to make them realize.

I'm following your point in which the problem will continue and it goes deeper if the person will not address the issue much sooner.

Trying to keep in touch and always reminds the person may give them some hint that their addiction is no longer controllable
and there's already a need to seek for professionals.

That's right, such people should always have someone by their side who can divert their mind whenever they want to gamble and that one person can be a best friend, a spouse, a sibling, or even a parent. The person who is addicted will surely not be able to control the urge themselves but if there is someone available with them to accompany them, that might change their mind.

You can't take an addict out of their addiction simply by saying that they shouldn't do what they are addicted to, but you will need to find ways that can divert their mind and engages them in something else and that might help them gain some control.

Exactly the point, you can't just direct them with words but an action is needed to divert their attentions, if the person is very
close to you, then you must find a good way to divert his attentions,.

Putting him in a place where he can avoid some time playing / gambling and give him some breathing to think the right way, best time to have
some serious conversation and give him some hints that he's already getting engage that much.

A good start to bring him back to reality in life and also to allow him to balance his gambling activities and be reasonable in terms of spending
time and money when playing the game.

usually, instead of playing for fun/entertainment, players take it to the next level and become unreasonably serious about gambling, while i don't really recommend making it as your primary source of income, we cannot deny the fact that there are few people who will do this and a few that changed their lives into something good by playing. sometimes people forget that it was only made for fun and the stress that has been accumulated throughout every game can lead them to something they didn't want to initially such as the things listed by the OP.

i somehow agree with you that one of the best medications for those gamblers is to let them understand that they could no longer regain what they had lost, and if there's a chance they can, it will be all depending on their luck. they should also realize that once they enter the pit they will have a hard time climbing up again, and after telling them that they needed to be slowly separated to that hobby or find another hobby to take up their time slowly just like withdrawal methods for those who are under rehabilitation, but still that depends on the very person if they really wanted to still be able to change their life although things are no longer the same. in the end it is only a matter of how those people can accept the reality they put themselves into.

Those kind of people are called a gambling addict. I've been through there and my life is really messed up back then. Even if you are a gambling addict, treating it as a primary source of income is crazy. A gambler should have at least one source of income to continue the addiction they have. Having none is just like throwing up your life by getting others money just to gamble. A friend or family can help in reducing a gambling activities but it will all depends on the person. As I said I've been there an I received help before from my friends by diverting me but that doesn't stop me until I realized that myself. Don't get me wrong, the support of my friends really helped me realized it that made me change. I guess realizing it by yourself is a new level of matureness that can be earned as an ex-addict.

Gambling addicts like that are more able to stop because of support from the family environment. Likewise, when all capital is used up, assets are finally drained because of stupidity when they can't control themselves when playing.
luckily and i hope i will never be like that. I limit myself because before I really saw for myself how my brother was also destroyed because of gambling addiction. We can take lessons from other people's experiences without having to experience it ourselves. and it's good for everyone.

[LUCKMCFLY]

What OP says is very true, many must learn or know how to play, especially when they are new, but in general terms when we enter a casino we usually get very excited, but here the important thing is to know how to bet and have the money ready to "lose" in a casino, but not to think about what you can win, because it is more feasible to lose than to win, if we think that way it can happen, otherwise I think that is when all the problems begin, I already know about addiction and everything that triggers.

Responsible gambling could mean knowing when to gamble, how to gamble, the amount to use in gambling and why they are taking every necessary steps in gambling activities, we must be able to give  account on how we spend our money on what we do while gambling, when we go to the casino, we should always have it in mind that we may win or loose, that doesn't affect our decision from gambling, it's our choice to make this happen if we are truly interested in gambling, nothing can stand a barrier for us from enjoying gambling either winning or losing.

That is supposed to happen but what went wrong is that most new gamblers have a hard time adjusting their emotions. Because at the moment they win, they will then think that they will the next round. But when they experience losses, they will become desperate and chase their losses and double their bets thinking that would help them to recover. Until now, I would say that only a few gamblers know how to become a responsible gambler while the majority had already fallen into addiction and lost control of their emotions.

Whatever the form, the principle remains the same and most gamblers have this trait, if they win they want to increase their income even more and continue playing with the hope of continuing to win. And
if they lose, they have a sense of revenge for the loss and try to chase the actual defeat, it only makes them lose more and lose it all.
It's not easy to be a responsible gambler because emotions and lack of control are always there. And if someone is successful, maybe they can stop gambling after losing everything or play in a disciplined manner by setting the time to gamble with the capital that has been provided.

The kind of situation where the person follows more on his emotions and forget about controlling himself, I agree that most of the time especially with newcomers or new to this gambling activities, they are preferred to follow the instinct inside, when winning they wanted more and the appetite of gambling increases, while when losing they wanted to quickly recover and try to win back their money.

Without changing this style, you will find yourself losing a lot and to the point that you may suffer with huge loss.

Responsible gambling comes from your experienced and how you deal with decision making when managing your finances.

I think something, when we play we have to apply everything we know and what we have learned throughout our financial education, at no time under any type of advice when we read about the economy recommend playing in casinos and trusting in Bitcoin, they only teach operate safely, in the stock market and play little just for fun, this is important,because each person has a concept of games, betting, and it is difficult to get into the head of a novice who has to first see that the casino is not to become a millionaire or ocmo work but Understand that it is a means of Entertainment where you must control.

Sometimes people are not entirely receptive when they have a problem, just tell a normal person that they are not a player and if they have problems, well, if a psychologist is recommended,they can get upset, because they will say who this is to tell me something so, or what do you think? so things are sometimes very delicate, and for this reason a friend who is addicted to gambling must be very attentive and delicate to tell him things, so that he does not react badly, this is something that has a lot to do with it with his personality and Knowing how to say things so that the help sees it as something good.

Addiction is a really bad sickness I tell you, and it's not limited to gambling addiction alone, all forms of addiction is something we all should avoid..
I could also relate to having seen gambling addiction destroy a close friend of mine, he was the one that introduced me to gambling, but me being very conservative with things like this, I was very careful from the beginning..
My friend gambled, wasted not just money, but time and resources, until his wife, out of anger and his refusal to change, left him, and took his son with her, it was a really bad experience for me, but I don't know if he really see it that way as he claimed, cus even till now, he hasnt stopped gambling like before.

I'm conflicted about gambling, to be honest. Fun and exciting hobby? Absolutely. Addicting, ravaging beast? No doubt about it.

The key ingredients are moderation and equilibrium. Enjoy everything, but don't get carried away, and you'll have a great time.

There is a nasty side to gambling, so be careful. Avoid drug use and its terrible repercussions. Establish spending limits and get help if you find yourself slipping.

Gambling is like a sword with two edges. Everyone has to make their own exciting, sometimes dangerous decisions.

Family is the main factor in dealing with gambling addicts which can help gambling addicts get better and avoid gambling.
But sometimes the family doesn't take it seriously about their family being an addict and ignores any gambling activity even though it's been seen that it's really bad.

[Bushdark]

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

Addiction always result to those things that we love to do as a result of long time continuity which might have made us to be accustomed to it. What ever what we are gambling, it does not necessarily mean that we are going to be use real money to make the bet. There are bets that we don't even need a real money for us to make the bet. We can use anything to make bets and make winnings whether in fiat of just the normal thing we use to gambler and make the winnings. Gambling addiction is something that can be dealt with in a way that would not have much effects.

[Fredomago]

I think something, when we play we have to apply everything we know and what we have learned throughout our financial education, at no time under any type of advice when we read about the economy recommend playing in casinos and trusting in Bitcoin, they only teach operate safely, in the stock market and play little just for fun, this is important,because each person has a concept of games, betting, and it is difficult to get into the head of a novice who has to first see that the casino is not to become a millionaire or ocmo work but Understand that it is a means of Entertainment where you must control.

We need that for sure, every learning that based on our actual experienced will help us to play with full responsibility, it will let us to avoid making huge mistakes in forcing our way to win a lot but more on the side of being entertained and try to win some if luck permits us to take some amount from the house, while if we lose we better to have that limitations, certain amount that can be let go and treat as part of your entertainment.

As there's always a big chance that without proper limitation, you will lose a lot of money, instead of enjoying it will bring a huge amount of stress, especially when you lose a big amount that will affect you financially.

I also feel that, learning based on experience in disorder in controlling myself in gambling will bring maturity and play responsibly that obeys the limits. But indeed in realizing this person needs time, sooner or later in realizing it depends on our knowledge and the environment which is very helpful not to do excessive gambling.
The pleasure in gambling is indeed I admit to eliminating stress, but sometimes people who vent it on gambling will have a negative impact on financial and make us get bigger stress due to losses, hope of that possibility will make us a deeper.
Although we are aware of the awareness of gambling responsibly, someone who has a bad mentality will have a bad output in his decision.

One thing I know for sure is that gambling does not actually eliminate stress, those who gamble solely for the purpose of eliminating stress will always end up with a more stressful filled day, there are more less but yet effective ways of eliminating stress, and two of them is..
1. Taking a nap.
2. Having a cold shower.

Gambling Is never and will never eliminate stress, one might feel relaxed when gambling, but once done, stress will come back, and even more if the person made a good loss in the process of gambling.

Depends because there are really people who do really able to remove out their stress on via doing gambling but talking about realistically or sensibly then its true that this is something that would alleviate more
considering that losing money is never been that a stress-reliever but rather it would really be making things even more worst. There's no fun on losing money and there's no one would be looking for it to be
that interesting.If you are really that sensible then you would really be finding other ways for you to deal with stress.

It might really be looking that no sense but surprisingly there are people who do treat up this way, but well its their money then just let them be on what they do want to do. Gamble responsibly because
outcomes and results would really be depending on how people would be handling themselves in regarding gambling activity. It is really just that important that we should really be that mindful
when it comes limitation or border line because you would really be the ones who could handle on how things do end up.

Gambling addicts like that are more able to stop because of support from the family environment. Likewise, when all capital is used up, assets are finally drained because of stupidity when they can't control themselves when playing.
luckily and i hope5will never be like that. I limit myself because before I really saw for myself how my brother was also destroyed because of gambling addiction. We can take lessons from other people's experiences without having to experience it ourselves. and it's good for everyone.

I have always wanted to ask this question and reading your comment made me have the push to ask, what are the characteristics of gambling addictions and how best can one avoid becoming a victim of that problem, I am told that addiction is a philosophical problem as a result of mental disorders.

But sometimes I am forced to believe that addiction is a ham error and does not have any internal system of an individual, since addiction is more of an activity that acts based on characteristics.

[serjent05]

Exactly the point, you can't just direct them with words but an action is needed to divert their attentions, if the person is very
close to you, then you must find a good way to divert his attentions,.

Putting him in a place where he can avoid some time playing / gambling and give him some breathing to think the right way, best time to have
some serious conversation and give him some hints that he's already getting engage that much.

A good start to bring him back to reality in life and also to allow him to balance his gambling activities and be reasonable in terms of spending
time and money when playing the game.

While we are doing this assisting stuff, we need to give more understanding to the person.  We should always act kindly and we can offer advice but never nag him of his wrongdoing.  The fact that he admitted that he is a gambling addict and presented himself for rehabilitation means he is wanting to have a change.  It is hard for the patient to adjust especially since gambling addiction had rooted on his system.  The guy may have some behavior issues but we must understand him and adjust accordingly.

It is very useful to have people around to remember you what is important and what is just a silly game. If you feel you are going a bit over the line try to stop, and if you cannot it is the moment to call for someone to help you. Do not leave it, gaming and playing should be fun so avoid long sessions and going over your gambling budget at any time.

[noormcs5]

If the person is not willing to admit that there's already a problem with how they manage their gambling activities, expect that there
are worse things to happen, that person needs more attentions to make them realize.

I'm following your point in which the problem will continue and it goes deeper if the person will not address the issue much sooner.

Trying to keep in touch and always reminds the person may give them some hint that their addiction is no longer controllable
and there's already a need to seek for professionals.

That's right, such people should always have someone by their side who can divert their mind whenever they want to gamble and that one person can be a best friend, a spouse, a sibling, or even a parent. The person who is addicted will surely not be able to control the urge themselves but if there is someone available with them to accompany them, that might change their mind.

You can't take an addict out of their addiction simply by saying that they shouldn't do what they are addicted to, but you will need to find ways that can divert their mind and engages them in something else and that might help them gain some control.

Exactly the point, you can't just direct them with words but an action is needed to divert their attentions, if the person is very
close to you, then you must find a good way to divert his attentions,.

usually, instead of playing for fun/entertainment, players take it to the next level and become unreasonably serious about gambling, while i don't really recommend making it as your primary source of income, we cannot deny the fact that there are few people who will do this and a few that changed their lives into something good by playing. sometimes people forget that it was only made for fun and the stress that has been accumulated throughout every game can lead them to something they didn't want to initially such as the things listed by the OP.

i somehow agree with you that one of the best medications for those gamblers is to let them understand that they could no longer regain what they had lost, and if there's a chance they can, it will be all depending on their luck. they should also realize that once they enter the pit they will have a hard time climbing up again, and after telling them that they needed to be slowly separated to that hobby or find another hobby to take up their time slowly just like withdrawal methods for those who are under rehabilitation, but still that depends on the very person if they really wanted to still be able to change their life although things are no longer the same. in the end it is only a matter of how those people can accept the reality they put themselves into.

Well, a gambler needs to be educated and willing to learn these realities, if he or she wants to become a responsible gamblers.

What I have experienced that most of the gamblers lack in discipline and they are motivated by their emotions and gut feelings that they are in gambling not only to make money but rather they will change their fortune by gambling.

It's really sad to see that gamblers are not really willing to learn from thier mistakes and even big losses will not set them off. Too much expectations will never lead to success in gambling.

It's really sad to see that gamblers are not really willing to learn from thier mistakes and even big losses will not set them off. Too much expectations will never lead to success in gambling.

As what I can see from most gamblers they tend to chase their losses as what the OP has stated, coz they think that they can recover them by the next turn but in reality it's not that simple coz there are so many factors involved when you are gambling. I also agree with what you were trying to convey that too much expectation leads to disappointment, in all honesty those who expect too much specially in gamblinf ends up the most irritated, and I am speaking through experience as what I did observed from my neighbors who are already seasoned gamblers. I have even witnessed someone from my area who lost $500,000 in just a week of playing a game, and I didn't understand how such a person can handle such loss or is he still okay with it, it's just so unreasonable for me, if I were to be asked.

I think something, when we play we have to apply everything we know and what we have learned throughout our financial education, at no time under any type of advice when we read about the economy recommend playing in casinos and trusting in Bitcoin, they only teach operate safely, in the stock market and play little just for fun, this is important,because each person has a concept of games, betting, and it is difficult to get into the head of a novice who has to first see that the casino is not to become a millionaire or ocmo work but Understand that it is a means of Entertainment where you must control.

We need that for sure, every learning that based on our actual experienced will help us to play with full responsibility, it will let us to avoid making huge mistakes in forcing our way to win a lot but more on the side of being entertained and try to win some if luck permits us to take some amount from the house, while if we lose we better to have that limitations, certain amount that can be let go and treat as part of your entertainment.

As there's always a big chance that without proper limitation, you will lose a lot of money, instead of enjoying it will bring a huge amount of stress, especially when you lose a big amount that will affect you financially.

I also feel that, learning based on experience in disorder in controlling myself in gambling will bring maturity and play responsibly that obeys the limits. But indeed in realizing this person needs time, sooner or later in realizing it depends on our knowledge and the environment which is very helpful not to do excessive gambling.
The pleasure in gambling is indeed I admit to eliminating stress, but sometimes people who vent it on gambling will have a negative impact on financial and make us get bigger stress due to losses, hope of that possibility will make us a deeper.
Although we are aware of the awareness of gambling responsibly, someone who has a bad mentality will have a bad output in his decision.

Especially those who spent a lot of time, the after effect most of the time turned things into negative, instead of having that enjoyment it creates lust and desire, emotions that lead a gambler to more un-control gambling participations, like what I've said, experienced may bring you to a decent side but not every time you'll be managed to control yourself and avoid getting addicted.

The chance is still possible, even an experienced gambler can turn to an addicted gambler, if control and limitation were exceeded.
