The madness of gambling addicts.

[STT]

Many individuals with gambling addictions harbor an optimistic bias that "the next bet will be the one."

I got one simple solution to that 'just one more'.  I suggest people do stick to simple ideas for starters, if you are slightly agitated in your judgement stay true to a few simple things can be best.  But my simple idea is time not just quantity of the bets and spamming them in one day, this I disagree with.  Return another day, add some time to the equation for results.
   Sometimes the day is bad, put a X through it and call it done.   Coming back another day brings forward a few things in your favor, for starters you are going to have to earn some more money to gamble so yea give it some time; also a fresh perspective, to the game with your attitude and feelings is a genuine positive.
   Dont just aim to bet on one singular day, plan a schedule this is a simple rule and it'll work in many parts of life imo.

In this aspect they are absolutely right, because gambling addicts always do things so that they have enough options to earn, and it is as they have said, they forget about the expenses they have to make, their family, their children, those who are heads of the family care little about having some responsibility for what they have to spend for themselves, that is sad, because I consider that the most important thing is family and the people who are close to one, because without them we Simply, understand, we would have another type of life, something that goes in the other direction, that is what we would come across, but a person who has this type of problem has to get checked out by a psychologist or take advice from friends, I don't know what addiction be it for the casino or to drink alcohol, because I think that the one to drink alcohol can be spent less, on the other hand, in one casino at a time you can spend a considerable amount of money and being well aware, this is something that can occur.

Thinking about it now, when things began to get worse in the middle of the pandemic, it was because many people were left without work, and they decided to use casinos as an option to get quick money to cover the emergency, and of course, that was not the best Option , but a person who needs to pay for their food, will carry out Certain things, well I would say , if I risk 300usd or 400eur , well I can earn double and with that fixes the week or the month, something like that, that is why some people The play turned out well, some others did lose, but I think these things were the ones that opened things up so they could be more active in the casinos, and Obviously , this increased the number of users among the casinos , and I don't rule out the possibility that In those moments, some of the people would become addicted, others became addicted, these are figures that I do not know but it is very likely that it Occurred , because in a pandemic what was used was the internet and online Casinos.

Its crazy to imagine that people relied on casinos during those difficult pandemic times, isnt it? As someone who enjoys the occasional game, I understand the allure of the bright lighting and the possibility of striking it rich. But... arent there priorities?

Families and intimate friends are our true fortunes. Investing all of your money in the prospect of a windfall is a poor strategy, particularly in a time of crisis. And addiction, whether to gambling or drinking, is difficult and no laughing matter. Perhaps they thought, "Hey, if I can double my $400 online, Im golden!" However, this is rarely the case, and addiction always emerges. Sadly, I believe that the number of people who are addicted to online casinos has also increased. What are the stakes in this digital age gamble, my friend? They are true.

It is that for that moment of the pandemic everything was very sudden, everything went off, only the things that should have worked best were left working, some families had no other income other than what was made at work, many people did not work again because the companies closed, and the sperosnas were not going to starve and they were not going to stop giving things to their people, they had to do more things to be able to continue leading their lives, I am sure that many people went to the casinos as a measure out of desperation to see if or if they could increase their money, because 500 usd when they put it in a casino and raise it to 800, 100 or more because that was already money, at least it saved the week and that was what many people thought, because the taxes, only services continue to be charged, and no one wants or wanted to lose the rhythm of life they were leading, just like the casino there was also trading, which was another way to increase their income, just stop the trading because you have to know, you have to have a lot of experience, and above all understand what was happening in the world well and on Another level to be able to do the Operations and not lose.

So I would Say that during the Pandemic , some people took the casino as the quickest way out of their problems, even if it involved a Great Risk, and it was also Beneficial for the Casinos , because the casinos Began to Gain more Customers,  more money , Everything. They began to have other types of activities, things were more Online, the Hopeless only looked for jobs online and wanted to do everything over there and earn a lot of money Remotely and Using what they know , so all this was more Competitive, while that in one casino , things were different , because there they realized if they won or not, and it was quick and violent , I think that from that moment on things began to be seen in other ways and that is why the casinos caught so much popularity , without thinking that many people were risking their Money in a very reckless way Possible.

Many individuals with gambling addictions harbor an optimistic bias that "the next bet will be the one." It's heart-wrenching to witness gambling overshadowing all other aspects of their lives. I've personally seen friends sacrifice jobs and relationships because of this addiction. Yet, I've also observed people who gamble casually and genuinely enjoy the experience. Ultimately, gambling serves as a profound test of self-control.

Yes, that's what is called a gambling addict, they are always optimistic to always win and win, and if it's out of control, that person tries to sell what he has now, even his job is at stake here, and that's very ridiculous for people who don't fall into the category of gambling addicts . If he doesn't realize it soon, one day he will regret for sacrificing what he has. And I agree with you that what we really do is play gambling in a relaxed and not excessive way so that we can enjoy the process where later the victory will be on our side.

Realization happens when worse already come out, that's mostly what is happening with gambling addicted person.

When they already lose a lot, not just money but everything including their love ones, that's the start
of making things to assess. If the person is willing to admit, then there's a good chance that it can change
up, while if there's no willingness expect to see more regrets, even they already know that they already
losing or already out of control.

Yes, that's right, someone will realize that if everything has happened, then the people around him will also feel and suffer the consequences of the mistakes made by a gambling addict. In my opinion, it's not just admitting defeat, addicts will change their habits if they are not balanced with self-confidence and are willing to repent so they don't repeat it again, in my opinion, it will be very difficult to get rid of it. from gambling addiction.

the key is always to never consider it as primary source of income. consider it just merely an entertainment and thats it, the thing with most people is that they are trying to get rich off it while its true that you can get rich, are you sure that you are the lucky ones? therefore its best for entertainment for those that truly just wanted to have fun and make some money off it.

That's true and I agree with you because if someone wants to make gambling his main income, he has to consider how much money he has to use to make money from gambling. And even though he already uses a lot of money to gamble, that won't guarantee he can make a lot of money, let alone continue to make gambling his main source of income. Maybe he needs to learn a lot to become a professional gambler before making gambling his main source of income.

I thought that a professional gambler could have a main source of income from gambling but it would still be difficult because things could change drastically. Moreover, we know that gambling is not a place to make money and only as entertainment. We also will only sometimes be able to get lucky because luck will only sometimes be with us every time we gamble. So we should abandon our intention to make gambling our main source of income and look for other places.

If someone wants to make gambling their main income, I can almost guarantee that the gambler will end up broke and with no job very soon.

It's simply not possible to gamble as a way of generating an income. The math behind it is very clear.

There's no way a person can consistently win against the casino. Maybe once they can get lucky, but they would have to retire after that. If they keep playing they will eventually lose it all.

This is just another example of how gambling can ruin one's life. The old man has to serve his days in prison whereas he could have enjoyed those days with his family.
If only he would not have become so addicted to gambling he would have even saved a decent amount of money to live a peaceful life.
When people don't control their gambling habits their peace is taken away from their life and that is really a big deal.

That is why is not good to be addicted to gambling than to use wisdom to gamble in a way you can recover from your losses without involving yourself in kidnapping to get huge amount of money to bet or sell your potential properties just to gamble which is not advisable to gambler. I think, something like this always happened to those people who want to use $50,000 to make millions of dollars in a day, which it can lead them to bad things that will make them to spend the rest of their life in prison. I think, many people will learn a lesson from this incident that happened to this handsome young man to spend his precious life in the prison because he was  addicted to gambling that made him to lost focus in life.

It would have got to a certain point any gambler would have reason this the same way you presented it but the truth of it is that things doesn't appear the way we thought most times not until we experience the live conditions in them, maybe we could also have concealed a conclusion right from our mind on what may be the next outcome, but unfortunately we missed the whole thing at the end after knowing our thoughts was a wrong prediction totally different from the reality of what is happening with the bet we made while gambling.

A Shanghai man was sentenced to prison for kidnapping his own granddaughter so he could maintain his gambling addiction with the ransom money.

His mind looks very messed up for only daring kidnapping his own grandson just to get ransom, in my opinion this is the stupidest thing for someone who is addicted to gambling to harm his own family by involving small children who don't know anything

This kind of thinking is what to this day destroys gamblers to become gambling addicts.
The thought that there will be something surprising after the next bet is something ridiculous but for a gambler it is a belief and sometimes it really happens and I have also experienced something like this but only a few times.
I have also experienced what you said, that sometimes I bet without thinking about profits or just because I want to have fun playing some games and actually get a decent profit, but when I try to think about whether after that I will get a profit the results are very bad.
Sometimes we often ignore thoughts like this, even though things like this must always be remembered that gambling is luck, there will be no good things in the next game unless you are lucky.

It is known fact because whoever has tried to go beyond their budget in gambling has suffered mental or physical pain.
It has happened to so many people that we have been hearing such stories every few weeks.
The cause for this has been the same and eventually the gambler had faced problems.
This is why everyone agree to the point that gambling should only be done for fun and not for profits.

Gambling makes addictive gamblers do the unbelievable things with a single decision. They don't think straightforward, rather always cunning and ready to do anything to wager on games, they won't even hesitate even though it involves selling of their properties just to raise money to gamble. But in this scenario, the Shanghai man went too far, kidnapping your own grand-daughter for the purpose to raise money to paid off your pending debts. It's out of line and he will face the punishment for his actions. He should have sell of any important properties to raise the money or meet his son or daughter to help me with money, asking before taking actions would have been a different case.

99% of gambling players do not use deposit calculations, withdrawals, total losses and wins are not counted. When a player has been playing for a long time and has lost a lot of money, one day he will be given a max win of only 10% of the total deposit. when the hallucinations of high hopes for good gambling players are difficult to control. On the other hand, if a pro player might look for weaknesses in the casino strategically, this calculation can be a mainstay even though it doesn't always run 100% smoothly.

Yes, you are right because gambling addiction disorder is classified as a mental health disorder that occurs in a person. Someone who has experienced mental health problems or disorders, their mindset must be disturbed or unable to think normally. As in this case, the problem of gambling addiction is certain that their thoughts, rationality and positive norms will be inferior to their lust.
This is indeed the dark side that exists in the world of gambling, someone who cannot control their gambling addiction will definitely do negative things and end up breaking the law. The case mentioned by the OP is only one of many criminal cases that befall gambling addicts, we know that there are many more cases that are more extreme than this case and even involve criminal acts such as murder and selling human organs just to get money to overcome the gambling problem of gambling addicts.

That is very true. But we might still be surprised that there are still people who want to try it for a while because they are tempted by the wins that other people get, which makes them interested. They will get loss after loss, which will reduce the money they bring into the casino and if they don't realize it, they will still lose that money.

And if they want to recover from their defeat, even then it will not be easy because after experiencing loss they will not be able to win immediately. It will only add to their despair and lead to prolonged frustration at not getting the desired win. But if they can really get the big win, they should immediately stop gambling and open a business to be able to make money from their business.

Yeah, that's basically how the casinos make their money.

It's basically free marketing when gambler boast about their wins, while ignoring all the times they have lost.

So in this way, the casino still gets free promotions from gamblers who win from the casino because it can make other people curious. They will also try their luck by playing at the casino. But if they lose at a gamble, they will become frustrated and wonder why they can't win the money the previous gamblers did. Those who are frustrated may go back to the casino and try to win but when they lose, they will complain to the gambler and ask how they won. But the madness of a gambling addict who loses from gambling will always make him return to the casino and keep trying to win.

I think that applies to all those bigger names in the industry who claim to have won huge amounts of money, but when someone here on the forum comes up with a new account and posts that he won hundreds of thousands of dollars at this casino, how do we even know that it is not someone from the casino itself? I can definitely imagine that this kind of fake promotion is part of a casino marketing campaign and of course it should sound realistic, but I wouldn't trust it blindly ever. Screenshots mean nothing as any employee who is authorized to do that marketing could create screenshots and so on.

    -   It will not be beneficial if a person continues to gamble after addiction has developed or entered their personality. And any addictions that were treated improperly are no longer considered to be normal. In addition, the outcome will undoubtedly be abnormal. Imagine, it's insane to kidnap your own daughter. Yuan has done it, and he didn't think that he had done it to her daughter or even her own blood.

Because a normal, rational parent would never subject their own child to such abuse. Such a person who suffers from an addiction needs counseling and rehabilitation to become better.

Imagine a smoker who has become addicted. On the cigarette pack, it is stated the implications of smoking, but since it is something you can not do without even if you know the risk, you will not bother. Once the addiction has eaten deeply inside, the problem has only just begun. Getting out of that shithole addiction is going to be hard. Once it has already become a lifestyle, nothing else can be done without serious decline.If a parent is aware of their addiction and understands the consequences, they will not want their child to end up in the same situation as them.

[yazher]

Yes, that's right, someone will realize that if everything has happened, then the people around him will also feel and suffer the consequences of the mistakes made by a gambling addict. In my opinion, it's not just admitting defeat, addicts will change their habits if they are not balanced with self-confidence and are willing to repent so they don't repeat it again, in my opinion, it will be very difficult to get rid of it. from gambling addiction.

One of the things to make it difficult is the environment where if you want to change and you are quickly influenced again by your friends or someone you know to play again, you won't hesitate to playback and you suddenly find yourself doing the same thing over and over again. That's why you need to stay away from such a place and find some good friends that will take you away from such bad habits. Because gambling addiction is not an easy matter and obviously we already know how it will change the life of a person permanently in a negative way if he doesn't learn to stop and change his behavior.
