The madness of gambling addicts.

[Jody.Drummer]

Everyone of us thinks luck will change and that is why we gamble,most of us know that making profits in the long term throughout gambling is not almost impossible but impossible for real yet we are lured to keep playing because nowadays there are a lot of streamers who show us those huge wins and that is the biggest incentive at least for me to keep trying my luck every week.Of course I set a predetermined budget so I don't fall to addiction but I was once addicted in 2020 exactly because of these streamers.

We have to realise the difference between Streamers and ourselves for this.
In the case of streamers we know most of them are paid by some sites just to increase exposure and new people to their sites and don't equate us with streamers because that wouldn't be possible either.
They have accounts that can be said to be different and their wins also seem like a setup because I'm not sure if it's with a real account they can continue to win even with a large amount.
Although not all of them are like that especially for large and trusted sites but most of the streamers are just puppets of some sites that want to capture some new users to play.

the thing is that most gamblers always thought that they could possibly outsmart the casino by going on in with high risk and in the end their end up being caught up in the web, self-control is very important but most important also is to set aside an exact amount you want to gamble with and anything above that should be avoided in all totality.

Don't ever spend too much time gambling trying to chase any direction is the fastest way to keep losing.

People on average overestimate their abilities and underestimate their flaws, so when faced with the challenge of outsmarting the casinos and beat them at their own game they naively think they can do it, then once they begin to notice this is not the case their ego takes over and they want to fulfill this goal, then once they realize this is not possible they want to at least recover the money they have lost, and each one of these steps leads them towards a path which is very difficult to escape as at that point many would have developed an addiction already.

If people cannot self-reflect, they will face difficulties they may not have imagined. And when they follow their ego too much instead of seeing that gambling will cost a lot of money, they will be disappointed and even frustrated to see the continuous losses. They will be trapped in their own ego and eventually unable to recover from their defeat. And the deeper they try, the harder it is to get out of gambling so it will only provide endless anger for them. Realizing that they have made a mistake and want to get out of gambling can save them from ruin and even bankruptcy.

A distinctive lack of self-reflection is something very common these days, in my experience many people have very short attention spans and they do not think long term, so they simply react to whatever happens to them, and instead of making a small research and finding out that obtaining profits out of gambling is almost impossible, they keep trying, and once they lose they keep trying anyway as at some point they think their luck will change.

People make mistakes because they don't make long-term plans. The biggest reason they try to beat the casino is the desire to always want more. In other words, when they act together with the desire to win, they overlook the possibility of losing. It usually results in loss.

If man knew his own limits, he would not always think that he would win. There is one more feature of people trying to beat casinos. They want everything to happen quickly. But such a world does not exist.

When they lose, they keep trying because hope has taken them captive. Hope is good, but if not acted wisely, it can be the other way around.

Being greedy can really pull you to the mud. In gambling, it's not always going to be a good day. You won't always win. There will be days that the odds won't favor you, and that is the reality in gambling that you have to accept. Hence, you must set a healthy boundary for you not to get beaten up by the casino and by your expectations to it in giving you a huge amount of profit. Because after all, the winnings are just a plus point of the entertainment and the risks. There's no guarantee you will win in every bet or every play that you will make. Setting up limitations to follow could help you build your good gambling habits and at the same time, maximize the fund allocation and the time you have while also enjoying and not stressing so much about it. Being ambitious and greedy can bring you good, but it can also bring otherwise, so you must decide wisely. Calculate your every step so you won't regret big time in the end.

We have so many things into budgets, but unlike some people who only focused on the present problem and that alone drain them. People make mistakes; we all do; what counts is whether we are able to amend our steps following our blunders or whether we continue to record additional mistakes. Some mistakes cannot be remedied since we must live with the consequences for the rest of our life. Gambling addicts willing to take risks for the purpose to satisfy their needs, which I'm sure are never-ending. They're completely off track in their desire to amass vast sums of money.

After playing gambling several times, they should be able to reflect on what happened after they decided to play gambling to see whether gambling brought or gave good or bad results. If gambling brings good results in a sense, they can still gamble but must still be able to control themselves and not cross the line. Meanwhile, if they lose, they should try to reduce the time they gamble and even stop gambling before they get into a lot of trouble from gambling.

Better overview and good control of your emotions are the things that you need to equipt yourself when you are into gambling.

It's tough to maintain your self-control as gambling is really addicting, and without that control you are
risking a lot, not just your money, but also your health.

Giving enough time to always assess the result and having a good mentality to avoid doing unnecessary action when
you are already on the losing side.

[Lucasgabd]

I'll give you a little extra advice.
it would be better to avoid the mindset of winning big or making big money from gambling. in simple terms, if someone is too ambitious to get a win, all they have in mind is wanting to win, but when they get defeated, it will definitely be difficult to avoid emotions.
almost all gambling addicts must have started with a lot of money.

usually thinking like gambling is the best way to make big money is the beginning of gambling addiction, when it continues to grow then their ambition will begin to damage their awareness in making decisions

so it needs self-reflection to be able to prevent whether oneself has entered the addiction stage or not. do not let you commit criminal acts such as stealing, robbing and even killing just for gambling and the craziest thing is suicide because of gambling debts and so on

anything that goes out of control and starts to be a problem in your life can become an addiction
but usually people in balance who have good emotional networks, exercise, eat and sleep well don't become addicted
so it's a matter of taking care and always being alert

the main thing is to control emotions. as I said before that even professional gamblers will sometimes lose against their emotions and will end up losing which makes it difficult for gamblers to avoid emotions.
all of that just depends on the situation at that time, I mean if you gamble in a calm situation without any problems I think you can control your emotions but if when you gamble you have other problems of course it will be more emotional and difficult to control.

I like the idea of emotional awareness... and calm! a bit more than control

being able to not take a decision based in emotion, but use your rationality

totally agree with your response
better to avoid gambling if you're under stress, sleep deprived or passing through some difficult situation in life.

[ethereumhunter]

risking a lot, not just your money, but also your health.

Yes, and without good self-control, we will only experience increased emotions, resulting in losing self-control in using money to gamble. It has happened to many gamblers and we really have to prevent it from happening to us, especially if we don't have good self-control. Playing gambling may look easy. We only determine how much money to bet and start gambling but it doesn't look like that because we have to have self-control so we don't play gambling for too long and use a lot of money.

Assessing results or self-reflection will help us know how far we have gone in gambling and what we have. If we have experienced more losses than wins, we should be able to decide to reduce the time we gamble or maybe even stop gambling because the results are not good for us.

Both consecutive wins and losses can lead to gambling addiction. When a gambler loses bets repeatedly, he needs to take a break from gambling, but the opposite reaction is seen among gamblers. They plan to gamble more to recover their lost money. As a result they become an addicted gambler within few days. Every gambler must conduct gambling within a limit. Gambling with the hope of large profit leads to the possibility of losing money in a short period of time as well as the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling.

Addiction is a complex issue, and it must be faced directly.

Some people are going to lose all their life savings in a few days. That's just not healthy, and people lose their minds first, money next, and sometimes even their life after that.

Gamble responsibly is more than just a warning, it's a life saving phrase in some cases.

Learning it the hard way or learning it from others experienced you needed to assess yourself if you are capable.

If you think you can't afford to lose a lot and you are not willing to do things, that will result in
something worse in life, it's better not to continue your gambling participation.

It's a choice while you are not engaged that much, as once you involve yourself too much, you'll
find it difficult to control and you may do something that you never imagine that you can.

but for those who are already addicted to gambling, this life saving phrase is very hard to implement. if not address early, the person will indeed be on the brink of self-destruction as well as destroying his family. because whatever his decisions will be, his immediate family is more then likely affected.
so if you think you are the one who is heading to addiction, pause for a while and contemplate on what you really want in life.

One very common problem is that many people do not believe on theoretical evidence and instead they rely almost exclusively on empirical evidence to create their beliefs, so you could show them the calculations why winning long term and beating the casinos is not possible, but they will ignore you and give you examples of people which won big once or twice, so they try their luck thinking they will be able to replicate their results only to obtain disappointing results and only then they will accept you were right, but not before they lost a massive amount of money while trying to prove you wrong.

for some people the best way will be to avoid gambling completely
for others they'll be able to approach is as an activity they do for fun once in a while

If their plan didn't change, they would only lose even more without being able to recover their losses. And even if they keep doing it repeatedly, they will have the potential to become addicted gamblers in the future because they are not aware of the dangers of over-gambling. Every gambler must know their respective limits to prevent gambling addiction that can appear at any time. Gambling in the hope of getting a big win is possible, but gamblers must also be aware that this will not always happen, so they are better off gambling enough to stop whenever they want.

You should study other people's experiences to get valuable lessons from them and not experience the same thing. And if you really can't make money gambling, you better not push yourself so it won't frustrate you.

Everyone has their own choice and it will be up to them what they will choose. And you should always think about what might happen to you so that you can make decisions wisely and not take the wrong step. Apart from that, by controlling yourself while gambling, you can also control your emotions because when you lose, there is a possibility that your emotions will increase and that can make you use more money.

[Dickiy]

You should study other people's experiences to get valuable lessons from them and not experience the same thing. And if you really can't make money gambling, you better not push yourself so it won't frustrate you.

Indeed, it would be better for us to seek various references from several people to be used as experience and reference material. There have been lots of people who have experienced downturns and bad luck in their lives because of the effects of gambling, but somehow there are still many people who do it. I realize that it is very difficult to get out of that zone and even if it can it will require quite a big struggle when someone has to fight the curiosity of their gambling addiction, and most of them cannot get past this. Be a healthy gambler, don't be too ambitious and don't ever assume that you will be able to get a lot of money just by gambling because this is really just luck that won't always come every time.

The fact is that to stop completely is very difficult and almost impossible, but if someone is serious in their intention, they can start by reducing the time for gambling, adding a lot of daily activities will be a great alternative because with a busy life someone will not have time to express his desire to gamble.

you can tell a person has sunken into his gambling vices if he has already done crimes like that grandpa who kidnapped a kid for ransom. it's probably not his first, he must have stolen lots before this like jewelry or so. it can be hard for this old dog to stop gambling as he is addicted. even in prison, he will still gamble that's for sure.

hard for someone to resist when he has money and can easily access a platform gamble. he doesn't just need community support but things to get busy about.

A gambling addict who wants to recover should also help himself get through it. It's a challenging thing especially if they aren't aware of the negative impact of the risks that they're taking or if they if it don't bother them anymore.
It requires willingness to change because if not, even with the help of professionals, they will not still recover from it.
A person who has commited crime just because of gambling are more likely to do worse because they will always find ways to make money for gambling. It will be hadd for them to resist if it's already been part of their system but if they want change, nothing is impossible, they only need to have the eagerness to be get through it.

whatever you do is a matter of mindset and also your ability to control yourself, gambling will never destroy someone's life if he doesn't become a gambling addict. It's hard to avoid gambling completely when we see some people experience major life changes overnight when winning at gambling.

there are some friends who ask me about how to make a profit from gambling, I can only answer, control yourself, stop gambling at the right time, don't force yourself to continue gambling because everything can change quickly when you are gambling.

yes, you are absolutely right if someone is already at the "addicted" stage of gambling, it will be difficult to think clearly because of their mindset and mental problems.
it is true that "addiction" to gambling must be dealt with immediately and this cannot be done according to the gambler's self-awareness. instead, it is the role of the family and the closest people who must take firm action on him.
strictly what i mean here does not mean to intimidate the addicted person because it will add to his mental burden, what must be done is for his family or those closest to him to pay more attention to him and invite him to divert his activities to do things that are more productive.
and if necessary, people who are addicted to "offline" gambling must be invited to move from the environment where they gamble. for those who are addicted to "online" gambling, they must be limited to using internet access and must often be invited to do productive offline activities.
