Gamble Responsibly

[Assface16678]

~ Emotional problem will arise as the main provider will have a big problem with his finances, gambling addiction affects the lives of everyone that surrounds that person, especially if he's already have an obligation to provide the needs of his family, I guess all are depends from how the person carry the load, addiction might not be possible if the person is busy taking care of his life and the obligation that he needed to take care.

That is certainly true. To avoid gambling addiction it's important to keep yourself busy with other things. Don't think it's boring in the first place. It's not. Life is also gambling in a way, and if you look at it like that, you'll find all those attractions of gambling in your life too. Gambling also can take part in all that, but only a small part, not the main one.

Yes, instead of gambling, find another means of earning. If that person really aims to earn money and does gambling thinking that he or she could profit from it and doesn't do well, then I suggest finding another hustle like investment or trading. In that way, they could divert their attention to other things. I personally once experienced being a gambling addict and experienced a great loss, but when I realised that I divert my attention to trading, which is also hard but worthy, right now even if I do gambling just a little or a few times, I still have a decent way of earning. It is risky, yes, but it's more fine than wasting too much money on gambling. I only treat gambling as my hobby and make sure I don't go overboard with my gambling boundaries. So I agree to divert attention to other things instead of getting stuck in gambling and suffering more.

If there's money that he can use to divert that attention instead of consuming more time with gambling, you can use that time to learn business or investment, not easy but there's also a good chance that you'll be able to read and understand the flow and you will be able to follow good patterns to make a successful journey both from investment and business.

All you have to do is to focus and use whatever resources that you have to make things as potential venue for earning profits.

For the vast majority of people trading is no different from gambling. I know that many of those so called trading specialists on the internet want to convince you otherwise and even hope you buy their courses that are supposed to teach you how to trade, but the truth is that only a very small fraction of self-proclaimed traders are earning money with it in a sustainable manner. Investing maybe an option, but when we are talking about a person that needs monthly income to pay for all necessities like rent, food and health care, it doesn't make much sense to talk about investing at that point because that person has no spare money to begin with. The normal way for everyone to get started is to generate reliable income and then try to change something. That is why there is no responsible gaming in times of low budget life. The first thing to do is to increase a the sustainable income and then go from there.

Creating a new business will be a good solution for people who have money because they can earn money from their business without losing money in gambling. And instead of learning how to play a gambling game, he can use his time to learn about business or investment to grow his business. While he can play gambling in his free time, he can also have a new thing to do: run his business. That will make him keep busy and focus on his business.

Gambling can be enjoyable, but it is important to do so responsibly. This involves setting limits, understanding odds, taking breaks, avoiding substances, and being aware of signs of problem gambling. By following these guidelines, individuals can enjoy the entertainment value of gambling while minimizing potential negative consequences.

If you can divert into something that is profitable other than gambling I think it would be better. We all know it is not that easy but if we really wanted a change then why not? Some people who are enjoying gambling as entertainment sometimes turn into something they will hate in the future that is why we need to be a responsible gambler.

I had already commented on this in my post that I made in a thread where I talked about gambling addiction and in that same post I said that whatever a person does, it is important that the person does not exaggerate. if a person drinks beer, then that person needs to create a plan that allows him not to deviate from the right path even if he continues drinking beer, beer factories do not stop making beer even with the number of car accidents caused by people who drinking beer is increasing a lot, this is because beer factories pay taxes, create jobs for many people and it is not the beer companies' fault when people become addicted to beer and destroy their lives

This is the same thing that happens with sex and drugs, when people start abusing sex, then they become addicted and as a result they are unable to have relationships that last for a long time, they end up using drugs and then they die. The same thing happens with games of chance, people must set limits on the amounts available to play and set limits on the time available to spend playing. because even when they are very rich to the point of having money until they die, if they don't set a time limit for playing, they will become addicted, they will go into depression and they will die, not even a lot of money won't save them.

If everyone followed those steps I doubt there will be anyone that got addicted to gambling, however in my experience many people do not want to take their hobbies with any level of seriousness, they are thinking about entertaining themselves and to shirk any kind of responsibilities, and there are hobbies in which this is not possible, and since gambling involves the use of our money in a very direct way I think this is not something we can really do, as such people should always remain attentive to their behavior when they are gambling.

Your message fits the old saying, "Gotta know when to clutch 'em, when to ditch 'em, when to make tracks, and when to bolt!" Gambling is fun if you know when to stop.

If you are twitching, squeezing, shaking, sweating and palpitating then you are not having fun gambling. I just added mine and it makes perfect sense. Gambling should be fun not feel like a job.

Gambling excessively leads to stress town, anxiety oblivion, depression capital, and debt gulch. It's fine. Gamble without jeopardizing everything. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

If you overdo it you will regret it. You will pay for it both with your mental wellbeing and with your health.

Take breaks when needed! Gambling might be tempting, so it's crucial to keep busy. After your break, the game will be more interesting than ever!

Taking breaks is like have a nap after a long day. You wake you revitalize and with more clarity. Gamble responsibly and intentionally as a user on this forum has already said.

If there would be no addicted person then this industry wont really be profitable and this is why it would really be just that normal that there would really be people who would really be that ended up on being addicted and spending up more than that they could be able to do so which does indicates that gambling is really that something giving out that kind of chance on getting addicted and spending up more and this what makes money to them. Being responsible isnt really that hard if you are really just starting to assess out things on whats good and whats not.
If you do see that your money is depleting then why would continue? There's no way on that you couldnt point out.

If the gambling industry with more regular users,it will be the normal game.If the same gambling site with the gambling addicted person means,he will do the gambling for many time.This will increase the usage of the gambler in the gambling site,the user should be their in the gambling.If you are playing the poker game in the gambling site,the gambling addicted person always available the gambling site.If the gambling addicted had completely quit the addiction means,we don’t have any player to play the poker in the gambling site.The gambler should agree for the loss in the gaming with some gambling responsibility in the game.

Yes, life is also gambling, but it's not like the games we often play. In the gambling that we often play, there is a problem of losing money and winning money, but we experience more losses and lose money than we get money. And if someone already has a family, he should prioritize his family more than gambling because earning money from his job can fulfill his living needs. That is why if someone wants to gamble, he must be able to avoid gambling addiction because this has become a serious problem for many gamblers so he must really think about this. However, he also has the option not to gamble so he doesn't have to think about his losses and focus on meeting his family's daily needs.

Sometimes people who think they avoid it, fail to do so. What's important in a moment like that is not give up. No one should think, oh, I'm addicted gambler now, I can do nothing about it. You can, you always can. You can try to get rid of it by yourself, but if it's impossible, you can seek professional help. It works.

~

~ Stop focusing and allow yourself to quit away by finding things that may allow you to find enjoyment and entertainment.

People should know one simple thing: being addicted to gambling will never bring you happiness. Even if you win big, with mindset of an addicted gambler you will not stop until you lose everything while trying to win even more.

I agree with you on that statement that being addicted to gambling will never bring you happiness. The negative consequences is often extend beyond the individual. Families can suffer as well, with spouses, children and other loved ones experiencing the emotional and financial fallout of a family member’s gambling addiction. So it's better to manage yourself and if you can't stop having an obsession in gambling, Seek a medical help because they know what is the best for you and they will tell you how you will cope up in that situation. Gambling can be a beneficial experience but just like other activities such as shopping, if done in an irresponsible way without knowing the limit, it can turn into a crippling addiction.

Yes, don't give up and keep doing it even though we know it's hard because that's the only thing we have to do to avoid excessive gambling and gambling addiction problems. However, many people have difficulty continuing to do it and cannot keep doing it. Hence, it makes them lose control of themselves and eventually become addicted to gambling. And if they are already addicted to gambling, they can still cure it by placing very strict restrictions on themselves so that they can avoid gambling and not even depend on gambling. And it is still recommended to ask for professional help to undergo the healing process.

Well, I can tell you guys that coming out from gambling addiction is even more easier than visiting or asking for a professional help, believe it or not, it's a fact.

As long as gambling addiction is involved, one thing required to stop or quit it is determination, if the addicted gambler visits a professional for help and he or she is not determined to stop, he or she will or may not end up being free from such addiction, but as long as the gambler is determined to stop, he him self or herself can stop and come out from that addiction by the power of that same determination, but I believe this is something many of us don't usually understand after all.

I've always stated it here in several occasions that the easiest way at stop gambling addiction is for the addicted person to accept that he's an addict and also make up his mind to break free from gambling addiction. It's only when a gambler has made up his mind to stop his gambling addiction that he can be easily talked out of it. No matter how good a professional therapist is, it's almost impossible to help a gambling addict stop his addiction by talking to him when he's not mentally ready to quit. There's a chance for every addict to stop the addiction but that's only when he wants it to happen.

Very well said and I completely agree,  and I also remember making an example that is somewhat related to this which you have said.

In one of my previous comments on this thread I believe, I talked about someone being sick and clearly needing to receive medication,  people around can see that this person is sick and needs medical attention, but the person in question refused and insisted that he or she is not sick, treatment is not something that can be forced on a person except when that person is completely down and can no longer help him or her self up.

Same also goes with all forms of addiction, not just gambling addiction, just as you have said, a sick person have to first agree that he or she is sick and needs medical help, then he can either call the doctor to come check on him or her, or he or she can visit the hospital for check up and possible treatment, same goes with addiction, an addict who has refused to accept that he or she is addicted and need help, will likely remain an addict until he or she first agree, then seek help to come out of it.

Acceptance and willingness are the major key factors in recovering from gambling. It's essential for successful medication that the patient is well-aware about his condition and is willing to be treated and be helped by the professionals. After all, you must first help yourself. Gambling addiction is like a sickness that is serious and has to be healed, otherwise it will consume you and bury you. Anyone that doesn't want to be helped will not recover from their sickness. One must be determined to combat addiction by undergoing rehabilitation and medication together with the professional guidance and counsel. This way, there will be lesser chances of undergoing relapse.

It's easier, but it depends on each person because there are people who can't get out of gambling addiction easily because they don't open up about their gambling addiction. They don't want to tell other people that they have a gambling addiction and keep it a secret from other people.

Responsibility in gambling is always an interesting thing because, after all, we humans can have emotions that always go up and down and we cannot predict when we will have good self-control. Even someone who has good self-control can lose self-control, so we must be careful when gambling and try to prevent ourselves from continuing to gamble if we have had enough of gambling. But if someone has experienced a gambling addiction, he must be able to recognize any changes in himself so that there is a desire to reduce or even cure his gambling addiction and visiting a professional is one of the recommended ways.

Recognizing those changes can help you to adjust and to try coping up and battle against this issue inside you, gambling addiction came from irresponsible gambling practices, addiction begins when you keep pushing your way in winning with the games you play, at the beginning you just wants to enjoy and you are only being entertained but along the way, you will see that your appetite start to increase and your desire to keep on playing will lead you to engage a lot, without setting any limitation eventually you will see yourself going deeper and addiction already inside you and it's going to be tough solving this problem which already developed inside you.

This is pretty much the key to the recovery. First addict needs to accept that they might have a problem, after that, only really wanting to take control will give control. Sure, people can do interventions and make someone realize what has he/she done, but they need to really want not to play more then wanting to gamble. It's weirdly simplistic, i know, but that's where the motivation comes.

Also rewarding self-discipline of sticking to the plan can wire your brains so that you get more dopamine rewards from self-discipline than you could from gambling. Or least you can feel so.

I've quitted booze and cigarettes by hating how the addiction has control over me. I just wanted to not smoke and drink more then i wanted to give up on those again.
Same way i got my gambling in control, i hated that i spend more than i planned. I hated the feeling even if it wasn't much.

After a while i accepted that i can't play big bets. I need to focus on reality and budget. Even if i would win big sometimes my budget couldn't handle losing more then planned. I know i am missing out some serious potential profits, but it is what it is. I get to bet bigger only after winning enough.
