The madness of gambling addicts.

[Silberman]

Any addiction will eventually drive a person into a corner from which it may seem impossible to escape, this is why there are some people that take the most irreversible decision that a human being can take, which is to end their own lives, however there is always a solution to the problems people have created for themselves due to their gambling addiction, it is just there is no way to solve them quickly, as those which are addicted spend years or even decades in that condition and they cannot hope that everything is going to fix itself overnight.

Addiction is a very dangerous act that can destroy ones life as I can testify to this because it nearly destroyed my own life , I started gambling at a very tender age and it sinked into my blood when I was in secondary school and even during my stay in the tertiary institution. I often gamble away my school fees and it was like a poison that was rapidly running in my veins until this habit was getting out of hand and I had to take a very difficult decision which involved me disconnecting myself with every thing that has to do with gambling and I didn't do this on my own as I was aided with multiple counselling sessions and all this was what contributed to my successful retreat from this dangerous act although some times I do predict but now its different as I do it only for fun and no strings attached.

While I have not suffered any sort of addiction, for what I can tell from the testimonies of those which did this is a complete nightmare they do not wish even to their worst enemy, so it is nice to see you made a whole recovery but it seem you went through some dark places before you did so, which is understandable as once people get addicted to gambling it can be very hard to admit this is the case and then take the necessary steps to recover your life and everything you lost during the process.

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.

Yes, you're right, that's why we have to control ourselves when playing gambling because when we get out of control it will certainly make us fall into high curiosity so that we become addicts faster, the ambition to earn a lot of income and money is the main factor that people can be an addict,

I think by changing the mindset that is intending to gamble happily maybe it can prevent us from being addicted because we gamble not making money as our main goal so when you lose it won't be a big problem, that's why it's always difficult for me to control myself when gambling, I realized that one way is to change our mindset.

People who falls into addiction are yes mentally unstable. Sometimes they treat gambling as they way out to their stress but in fact if they will not process it well it can only be a stressor to them and can make their state worsen. We just need to gamble when we are okay, well rested and fine because it can do a lot of things and affect us so much on our gameplay.

These scenarios are worse enough to let people reflect on their actions if they don't want to see themselves resorting in those unfortunate situations, true, being addicted in gambling makes your mind weak and disabled a person to see which is good and wrong as everything will be right in their eyes as long as they can feed their ego which is the need to gamble even if it means stealing, robbing, etc.

I agree with what you said. A person in a state of anxiety and a sense of injustice is capable of making mistakes that cannot be corrected. I am glad that this man did not allow a situation in which an innocent child would have suffered. There are pluses in this story, because now the law enforcement agencies will take special control over this man, and his relatives found out that he has problems that need to be helped to solve them.

It is true that anxiety will interfere and cause feelings and thoughts that cannot be controlled when you want to gamble and that this habit often occurs will make a person more addicted.
Like my friend before, he had a lot of stress problems, he always took the problem out of gambling, but it was very bad that he became a gambling addict who was difficult to give advice because there were too many losses and he said he wanted to take the losses first, after that he would avoid gambling.
Even though cases like this are very rare for gambling addicts

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

This may not lead to gambling addiction but for sure this will be the start of financial problems.  There are lots of cases where a gambler experiences consecutive winnings making them think that they can make gambling as source of income and start quitting their day job.  We all know gambling result is random so when the gambler starts experiencing series of losses, he will retort to borrowing money hoping that his next gambling session will give him a huge win so that he will be able to pay back the debt and extra money for his needs.  But most of the time that huge winnings will not happen.  As a result, that gambler will accumulate debt until he is not able to pay them.

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

Indeed self-reflection and self-evaluation if he has the signs of gambling addiction are needed to prevent a gambler from gambling addiction.

Some users are not mentally healthy to control their emotions, so they keep chasing big wins that may happen in the next minute or after a year.
Gambling with zero expectations is the best method to fight gambling stress, otherwise, it becomes the way you torture yourself in the long run, IMHO.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think gambling is better to quit if you can't control it by gambling he lost hundreds of times more money than he won. Gambling is an addiction in which you will always be in a daze, you will feel like playing this one more time, taking the profit, and not playing again. Then when you win you will say let's play for the last time when you lose everything while playing for the last time you will say, I will take the original and resign from gambling. Then that last time will leave you destitute.

That's roughly like the general picture that happens to people who gamble. The first time he had a different experience and wanted to do it again because, at that time, he could get the win. But it turned out that he couldn't win at all on the second occasion and wanted to do it again on the third occasion. On the third occasion, he could only get a small victory that made him want to continue the game. This will slowly make him addicted to finding something challenging to beat. And, of course, he would use more money to try his luck every time he lost. If you can't control it, it's better to walk away from gambling and never come back. Otherwise, you will experience a gambling addiction you don't know about. So before it's too late, think about what you've got in gambling. And if it's bad for you, it's better to leave than you lose all your money.

Only gambling addicts understand the feeling aka adrenaline rush after huge wins and our brain look for same taste after playing casino games. We keep looking for dopamine no matter it happens on huge slot multipliers or on original house games, some guys don't even respect their red line and keep depositing to win back losses. Only small portion of gambling addicts get back what they lost btw, sad but true.

Somehow you have to control that, and good to avoid many evils that anyone does not like when they Experience the crazy things that emotions can produce in the game, this can be channeled with good balance management in a casino, and so on. That is how you can avoid losing money completely. As far as I'm concerned, you can go crazy with what you are willing to lose,but if there is a very large profit, the best thing to do is withdraw even 50% of profits,it is always good to see what you earn.

let's admit that there's false hope in this activity. hence, many people are trying out their luck on this industry. and usually before they know it, they are already too deep with their gambling activities, where it seems to be impossible to get out.
so while you can still control your gambling activities, better assess your situation what you really want to accomplish on this.

I like that idea when you are in the winning side it's best to withdraw or transfer some out from your bankroll, if you stay lucky you can win more aside from the transfer money, if you already satisfied with the outcome whether you lose or you win more then the first withdraw will serve as your spare to enjoy partying either with some friends or doing it alone celebrating your wins.

Just an opinion, as there are only few who can do this kind of things more gamblers are having a hard time controlling and ending up
losing more.

Yeah, at the end of the day basically the only way to actually win in the casino is to stop playing at some point in time in which you are ahead.

Easier said than done really, as that's the point in which most gamblers get more excited and end up gambling it all away.

We recommend that in gambling, you only play to have fun and after that pleasure is obtained, you must leave the casino immediately so you are not tempted to continue playing. We have seen how it affects many gamblers who continue to gamble until their money runs out and have lost a lot of money. That will make them think about recovering from their loss first and then try to get the win. It will drain your energy and money because you will only think about getting a win without realizing your limits. We cannot use gambling to make money, so we must realize it before it is too late and we become addicted.

No doubt, you're a champion of responsible gambling, and that's a mantle to be applauded. However, allow me to pitch this curveball: the role of personal accountability.

In any endeavor laden with potential hazards—be it placing a bet, enjoying a drink, or engaging in adrenaline-fueled sports—shouldn't the torch of responsibility rest in the individual's hands? True, society has a role to play in erecting safety barriers, but when all's said and done, isn't it the prerogative of the individual to set their own boundaries?

Instead of perceiving gambling as a one-way ticket to the depths of addiction, perhaps we should instill a culture of personal responsibility and decision-making prowess. This approach could enable folks to revel in the occasional thrill of a wager without descending the slippery slope towards destruction. Isn't this an angle that warrants further debate?

Passive income? IMO, there's no such thing.
Gambling is a way to pass the time but it was never meant to be a job or a daily basis income. That never existed. Even if you are a professional in casino games there will always be a losing streak because the system is trying to get back what you won.
It's sad but it is true. They will never let you win in the long run, might as well get a job where you will never risk any money but in exchange for your skills only.
Please, let us stop thinking like gambling games can be a part-time job. It's a hobby. We put out money just to make the game more exciting and not because we are looking forward to a daily income by betting our income.

yep, because what is expected from gambling is just like dreaming too high but it has never been achieved if you remember that gambling is still based on luck. and sometimes like we here who say about emotional control avoiding addiction will still end up addicted if you keep gambling with the hope of winning and surely you or I have felt that even though you only felt addicted for a few days or a few weeks to chase losses. but I believe that a gambling addict who is able to heal himself will have the best life in terms of money management and if he returns to gambling after recovery, I believe he can control his emotions neatly.

When a gambler puts that money on the bet, the hope of winning in him will increase and he can fail to take win the bet at that time. Many people dare to bet on the basic things in gambling. This is also an emotional issue where the gamblers can lose their money. So if you have any emotions in gaming life and if there is any human stress, you should never do gambling.

Both poor and rich gamblers can be addicted to gambling. It is not that only the poor gambler is addicted to gambling and the rich ones have full control over their emotions. I have known many rich gamblers who have lost the majority of their money due to addiction to gambling.
The madness of gambling has nothing to do with the financial conditions of the gamblers. I would say that those gamblers who have more money are more addicted to gambling because they have more money to spend on gambling.
