I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less

Gambling definition: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/gambling

Based on this definition I think regardless of what we are doing as long as we put money on something we are not sure of winning is called gambling. Though gambling is different from investment, they still has similarites. An argument between gambling and investment does not matter to me as it depends on how we understand things.

What sets them apart is quite clear: gambling heavily relies on luck and chance, even though some games may require a bit of skill, the outcome ultimately hinges on something random. In certain cases, gambling is primarily for those seeking quick profits.

In contrast, investment leans towards research, analysis, and sound decision-making. Investments have strong underlying reasons and demand a well-thought-out strategy for profitability. Typically, a longer time horizon is more rewarding when you have a strong foundation.

At times, gambling and investment may seem similar to those who haven't delved deeper into both realms. This means diving deeper into the world of gambling and the world of investment is essential to truly distinguish between the two. Generalizing anything that brings profit as gambling is a misconception.

Gambling is an act that will harm us if we cannot control ourselves. For those who have experienced an addiction to gambling, it requires a hard struggle to get rid of the habit of gambling. Reducing gambling will indeed be easy for those who have not experienced an addiction and for those who If they have experienced an addiction, they have to change it themselves because no one else can change their habits other than themselves.

It takes a lot of effort to get rid of the gambling habit. Maybe they need to learn to reduce their gambling activities first while continuing to try to stop their gambling habits. And they must have the will and desire from within themselves to get through it.

There must be a reduced desire to gamble, and they can reduce it by doing other things. It may be difficult at first because it means they have to build a new habit that can divert their attention from gambling. And changing habits is not as easy as we imagine, but it depends on how hard we want.

By continuing to try to do so, we will not think about returning to gambling because we already have other things to do. And if there is support from the people closest to them, they can do it.

Gambling less I think is a good way to stay safe in gambling instead of constantly trying to be frequent and regularly playing gambling to make sure one wins his gambles. Though it's not a guarantee to be a successful gambler but it'll help regulate and control a person's emotions whenever he's betting. So gambling less is a good way of gambling.

Gambling doesn't mean you are safe from losing money. What if you gamble less, but the amount of money you place or bet is big, so if you lose, it will still have a big impact on you? The safest answer to this question is to stop gambling at all, not limit yourself, or have a good mindset and self-control. Just quit totally, and you will not lose any money. But I understand there are gamblers who can't just easily let go of gambling; they will still want to gamble at any cost. If that's the case, if you know that you can't make yourself stop gambling, then seek help, do rehabilitation, and such. Seek help from your friends and family so your attention will be directed to other things, like sports or another hobby that could make you forget gambling. If your goal is to earn, then find another means of earning.

Right. Basically the act of taking risks is a gamble right. But the key difference lies in the approach and mindset. When it comes to investing in cryptocurrency, it's about making informed decisions based on research and a well-thought-out strategy and usually investors aim for sustainable growth over the long term. On the other hand, gambling often relies on chance and random outcomes. While both activities involve risk, investing focuses on managing and mitigating those risks through knowledge and strategy. So taking risks in investing is more calculated and grounded in analysis than the purely chance-driven nature of gambling. OP did his part, you really cant explain further to close minded people, they have to understand it theirselves.

Investing into a project or idea is different than gambling.

In gambling you are basically paying for the small chance of getting rich, whereas in investing you are following a plan that basically should give you some level of positive return.

The main difference being that in investing the expected value in return is positive, whereas in gambling it is negative.

Of course investing requires more work than gambling, but it also should give you positive returns.

By continuing to try to do so, we will not think about returning to gambling because we already have other things to do. And if there is support from the people closest to them, they can do it.

As long as it is done consistently, it can definitely reduce the desire to gamble. It is difficult to be consistent, but if we really get additional support from the people closest to us, the process will be very easy and fast compared to doing it alone. Changing habits cannot be instant, so there is a process that must be done. This is why it is important to change your mindset first, that gambling is not the right place to seek wealth.

I know that many people gamble because of the wrong mindset, so that's what must be changed first, then slowly switch to hobbies or other activities so that you can reduce the hours of gambling because that way the desire to gamble will slowly become less high so it will be easier to control yourself. when to gamble and when to stop gambling, if it's like that it will be easy to stop gambling completely.

Good understanding and deep realization are needed for that to happen. To attain this kind of mindset, it will be difficult as it needs someone to make them realize that gambling is not healthy for them. By doing other things can help to make it possible. But like you said, changing habits is not instant.

It's a good start to change their hobbies and should be taken seriously. Having this mindset can help to remove and avoid thinking of gambling as the only way to have easy money. Realizing that gambling is not for them as it requires self-control to avoid many losses.

This consistency still needs to be improved for many gamblers to be able to suppress the desire to gamble. This requires a strong intention and desire from a gambler himself to be able to change himself. Moreover, if he can get support from the people closest to him, he will be even more enthusiastic about leaving his old habits.

Maybe with encouragement, support and enthusiasm from him, he can speed up his ability to recover from gambling addiction or want to reduce his gambling activities. And if they can all help him to build his new habits and stay by his side, it could make him give up his gambling habit.

Changing thought patterns and building new habits is what gambling addicts need to do. By realizing that he must be able to suppress his desire to gamble, he will keep trying hard. It was all just to get healing from his gambling addiction.

I like that proposition once you feel that you are already attached that much better to help yourself by finding someone who can help you to distract your attention and find something that will allow you to divert your mind from keep thinking about any gambling related activities, if you make that, then the chance of allowing yourself to skip from gambling activities will be better.

efforts like this are very good for distancing yourself or helping yourself to try get out of gambling or helping yourself to reduce your gambling activities. but all of this requires encouragement from commitment and very strong desire to be able find our own way to find a way to find other activities that can divert our minds from being tied to gambling and usually these activities are like work or other activities that can take longer so a person will not have time to think about gambling.
and for me it better to look for side job and main job that will help divert the mind from gambling because by working a person will feel tired of not having the opportunity to gamble and choose to rest and work next day.

If emotions dominated everything chances to increase that desire to keep playing is the next to happen, you can't resist that feeling once your appetite already increases inside you, though from the beginning you initiate things most of the time all for enjoyment and entertainment, maybe for some they are aiming for big wins but not all have that intentions, all for just enjoying and killing some time with the use of spare money.

From time to time, things changes according to how your engagements, and once you already attach, then that emotion will conquer your mind and it changes everything inside you.

And that's when greed will take over everything, and you won't be able to think clearly because your goal has changed to wanting to win more than before. This has often happened to many gamblers, and many cannot control themselves in the end, so they become gamblers who are addicted to gambling and no longer think about having fun, which is their initial goal of gambling. Most gamblers will try to get that win and will continue to gamble. Even though they have won big, that doesn't stop them because they have become greedy.

That is why we have to control our emotions because these emotions can increase suddenly along with the results we get. And if we can control our emotions, we will not be tempted to continue gambling, whatever the outcome. We can stop gambling in time.

They did actually because why did they be able to go to rehab? or seek a professional help if they can't? It was only a little late but this is always the case that happens. I guess it was still better than not changing at all. If our goal is to get the jackpot and we luckily get it, maybe we can now lower our temper.

That way, we will never be screwed again by gambling. Or if we are worrying that it will still occur, it's also a good idea to quit it either for temporarily or permanently. Gambling or the casino is good at playing with our emotions but there is no way they can tricked me again. I already learned a lot. Now, I'm only reaping the benefits.

If they hit the jackpot, they must immediately stop, withdraw their winnings, and leave the casino. But what happens is that they increasingly want to get the next win, where it will take work to get the jackpot again. And that will only make them greedy because they want more. They should know that getting a win or jackpot requires great luck, and when they get it, they must be able to stop themselves from continuing to play for the next round.

If they keep coming back a few days later and become even more eager to get the jackpot, and some even become addicted to gambling, it won't work as entertainment. They need help to cure their gambling addiction so they no longer think about gambling.
