Gamble Responsibly

[Girlinthehood]

Gambling can indeed be an entertaining activity for many, but it's vital to engage in it responsibly. As you mentioned, it's important to recognize that gambling can become problematic, especially for those who may tend to develop addictive behaviors or become overly attached to activities or objects.

Any excess can be harmful, and when it comes to gambling, the consequences can be particularly severe, affecting not only the gambler themselves but also their surroundings. Financial loss, stress, and other issues related to problematic gambling, such as relational or professional problems, are real and potentially devastating risks.

For those who choose to engage in gambling activities, it is crucial to do so consciously and limitedly, setting time and money limits, and being aware of the risks involved. For those new to the world of gambling, understanding these aspects and approaching gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money is essential.

And for those who feel they may have a problem or recognize that they are prone to developing problematic gambling behaviors, abstaining from gambling is arguably the best course of action. If you or someone you know needs help or support regarding gambling, do not hesitate to seek resources and speak to professionals who can assist you.

Yes you are right This is just a game, but sometimes most of us treat it as a source of other income if you cannot control it you will lose, believe me. I have already been there. Haha

Maybe there is a fear of gambling addicts that if they reveal their gambling addiction to other people, they will be rejected by people, making them unable to accept it. And that's what makes gambling addicts not want to admit that they have a gambling addiction so they don't dare to be honest with other people. But if they don't care about what other people will say, they will still say or be honest with people that they need help and want to cure their gambling addiction. That will allow them to get the right treatment to cure their gambling addiction.

Also, agree with you that sometimes a gambling addict closes himself, If I had a friend like this I would talk to him because sometimes talking to other people can relieve such a burden in the back

They would literally feel rejected since we all know that gambling has a risk factor that could destroy someone's life, and they know to themselves that gambling should be done responsibly. Still due to problems in life or issues, they thought gambling as a source of income, source of fun, distraction and etc. But of course it doesn't solve anything as gamblign worsen your life situation like being in debt. Maybe asking them or being there for them could lessen their gambling addiction which is better than risking all of your funds. But for me, going to doctor is the best, like going to therapy which could literally help the person with addiction or depression.

That last resort if gambling already being out of control, when addiction already dominates and there's nothing that the person wanted to do in life all is to please his gambling participation, yes, therapy or specialist will help to bring back that control inside that persons' mindset, though it's difficult when the person still in the stage of denial, still believing that he's doing fine and there's nothing wrong with his gambling participation.

That kind of thing needs physical companionship as to push the person to lessen his gambling sessions. You need to find a way to divert his attention and to help him to move that focus to gambling.

Gambling responsibly isn't an advice but a necessity for anyone who wants to get involved in gambling. Gambling is one engagement that's rendered many people useless and those are the people who ended up as gambling addicts because of the fact that they chose not to gamble responsibly. Gambling responsibly will help a gambler to know when he's losing a lot of money and to quit for the day instead of trying to get everything he's already lost. It's helps regulate the emotions of gamblers thereby helping them make good use of gambling instead of going bankrupt because of gambling.

Agree with you mate Evey gamblers must have their responsibility whil playing in order to prevent losses a big amount. Gamble is fun, gamble is stress reliever once we use our extra money to play in casino.  And also gamble will helps us happy when we are at the sad story of our life . (But if we use our whole income to play in gambling then it will cause us stress . Cause if we loss we will find a way to earn another money in order to sustain your daily needs.)

sometimes my mind starts to think that gambling responsibly does not rule out the possibility of avoiding addiction or even does not guarantee good self control. as I see, many gamblers say they have good self control by gambling responsibly, but one day the gambler gets emotional with greed, gambles with large amounts and loses, after that he becomes addicted and there are many stories like that. so the best way if you want to live a healthy life is just to avoid gambling, quit any gambling activities and start living a healthy life without gambling and the way you said, asking for help from a doctor to help cure gambling activities is also one of the best ways.

we must remember that gambling responsibly is just a small way to avoid addiction, but everyone has a very bad sense of self control.

Gambling is a stress reliever can also be quite the euphemistic description of what gambling does. In theory it is right because it is connected to dopamine release, but really the problem is losing money and that definitely negatively counters the seemingly positive effect. It is good if people can deal with fixed limits and stick to them or play as much as they want and their limit is set where it would start to interfere with their social life. No real life relationship is worth risking for excessive gambling.

Gambling is just a game to relieve stress for some people maybe things like this can still be understood and I still think this is true but the fact is that there are still many people who consider gambling with a different meaning where apart from those who think that this is a condition where to improve themselves (Even though it is wrong) sometimes many people also do gambling to relieve stress end up with those who are increasingly stressed because of defeat and cannot control the gambling activities carried out.

This is a basic thing that is quite important to realize and even though in theory it is true it seems that things like this are sometimes difficult for some people to accept in terms of their logic.

On the other hand, many people are trapped in gambling because they want to be able to double the capital they spend, both beginners and professionals, of course, if they really have a hobby of gambling, it will be difficult to avoid it, they will continue to try their luck again even though they have experienced defeat.
Maybe only a few people can control themselves when they experience defeat, they will stop to avoid bigger bankruptcy.  In fact, many people use gambling as entertainment even though they are aware that in gambling there are luck and loss

For people who are able to gamble responsibly,we say they are wise and responsible.These set of the people are the ones who have great self control,they are the ones who have limit to every gambling activity they engage in,they are the ones who when they lose,they don't linger on and keeps trying,they just accept it the way they see it and conclude that it wasn't their day,while they stop immediately they get a win.
In the other hand,those ones who are considered irresponsible gamblers are the ones who still go on to borrow when they've lost,they can do anything to still continue gambling when they have lost,hoping they would win the next hand which is bad.I know Gambling is not easy,but we just need to play with caution to avoid embarrassment and depression.

Like I'll always say, gambling responsibly isn't an advice but a necessity for anyone who wants to engage in gambling else the person is gonna end of as a gambling addict which in most times ruins the person's future.
The need to gamble responsibly is very paramount to anyone who's gonna gamble as it'll help regulate a gambler's gamble dealings. Irresponsible gamblers will never succeed in gambling which I why it's absolutely not good to get involved in gambling if one can't gamble responsibly

Yes but the line is way too fine to generalize it as a stress reliever. I know this has been said before, but how many people do you think would say that they drink beer daily for stress relief? They are not even lying, it is true. Alcohol relieves stress but only in the short term. Over the long run the overall stress resilience will decrease as alcohol does suppress anxiety and stress only when you are actually drunk or have consumed alcohol. That is why it is a vicious circle for many people. They start believing that the method they found to relieve stress is something they should or need to apply more often. When they can calm down while gambling, it signalizes their brain that gambling is something inherently good for them. While in most cases it actually isn't.

Although gambling addiction depends on nature, the most important thing in gambling is to control yourself. These usually depend on the individual's own wishes it will never become addictive if you know all the criteria like experienced gamblers they can control everything very easily. If you have a compulsive gambling problem you may be constantly betting which leads to losses using up savings and building up debt. You may hide your behavior and even the impact it has on family to support your addiction. That's why it's better to restrain yourself and learn from experienced gamblers.

The problem is that not all gamblers can think like that, the important thing for gamblers to do is to realize their mistakes awareness will of course encourage the gambler to become a responsible gambler and can control himself easily, but if they don't realize it they will continue They continue to make these mistakes without feeling guilty, even after their balance runs out, they will try to take out loans here and there to be able to fulfill their gambling needs, causing problems for family, of course this is a bad impact of their behavior sometimes those who are addicted to gambling will experience mentality disorders and become emotional easily, so it is important for them to get warnings or advice from family or friends so that they don't do bad things that will happen to them later.

a friend of mine once experienced slot gambling addiction, even he sold some of his valuable assets just for the sake of playing slots, but fortunately he was able to escape from that addiction thanks to his family, it is true that an addicted person can be helped by the people he loves.

However, help from his loved ones will provide maximum results as he fights to recover for them. That will give him greater enthusiasm to undergo every healing process. And even though there are times when he feels it is hard to live, with the love of the people he loves, he can still survive and get back up when he feels heavy and difficult to get through his days. Experiencing a gambling addiction can be cured as long as there is intention and sincerity on his part so that he can heal well.

I see your point and it's true if there's love behind things that your love ones are doing for you, if you are the person who have this problem with gambling addiction, chances that you will see the purest of intention and the help that wanted to conduct, though it's really hard as most of those gamblers who still have money or resources to use are still in the denial stage of addiction,.

They are the one who's really challenging to provide the help or to accept the help that we are trying to give, without realization and self-will. It will take time before you will be able to convince the person.

I think the help of their family and professional help are both needed to assist the addicted to overcome their problem, the family is needed to provide the moral support, as overcoming an addiction is very difficult to do and they may think about giving up during the middle of the process, and the family has to be there to reassure them and motivate them to keep going, but professional help is needed as well, since an addiction can be so out of hand that only someone that has been trained could possibly help the addicted to get over their compulsion to gamble.

Very well said. The support from your loved ones is very important. It makes you want to jump off your addiction. But more often than not you can't make that jump without a professional help. To choose among the professionals is a crucial bit. It should someone with big experience, not a young person, but not someone very old either because his/her main experience should be in the field of online gambling.

[kojektea]

Correct. Gambling responsibly is very necessary, especially if we are a husband or head of the family. think about how we really make gambling with limits without having to lose a lot of assets which puts our small family in danger because assets continue to be sold because of the addiction of gambling.

I think a lack in social relationships can be a trigger for gambling addiction in the first place. I am quite sure that there is data on the degree of isolation of people and how it affects them in terms of susceptibility to addictions. If someone has great relationships all around him or her, it is much less likely that that person is wasting time in front of a screen gambling online I suppose. But once an addiction kicked in, it is of course as helpful to have intact social relationships. But with intact I mean that it is not enough to just have them, it is important to have those that are willing to raise their voice and tell you that something is wrong. Often times people with close relationships are too afraid to talk openly to each other because they think they hurt each other. That's not simple at all.

Indeed, if the person have that good relationship with the people who surrounding him the chance of getting addicted to gambling is lesser, as he will use his time wisely and the money that might be risk will also be less since he has other things to think of and those people who loves him will counter any possible addiction as they can monitor his activities.

Though if by chance that the person even have that good communication with his love ones, once addiction got triggered it won't be hard to address as the people itself will do everything to help and make it be realized that there's already a problem that needed to resolve.

Yes, social interactions matter to us. There's also evidence that solitude can cause addictions, especially gambling. When lonely, people turn to fast gratification, like gambling. It's a quick getaway, right?

Like you said, relationships aren't simply about statistics. Quality of relationships matters. We need caring folks who can say, "Hey, something's off. You okay? " Ironic that sometimes being closer makes it harder to discuss the elephant in the room? Why are we afraid to communicate our worries for fear of hurting them? Doesn't quiet hurt more in such cases? No single solution exists for this complex subject. But openness, understanding, and support may change everything
