The madness of gambling addicts.

[klidex]

It's so unfortunate to see people at this age still addicted to gambling to this level stealing from his relatives to spend it on his addiction and the desire of continuing that dopamine and adrenaline rush. Somehow, I think his family has a little bit of responsibility to help him and recovering his self-control for a safe and responsible gambling activity. Avoiding all this drama and prison is so possible ans avoidable if just someone neside him called for support and took him to a center where they help addicts.

Age is not an obstacle if they are addicted to gambling, yes, that's crazy gambling addicts about because they have lost their human nature and lost their common sense because their minds are too controlled by gambling, which causes a person to do things that are out of control and in the end he has to accept the consequences they had made it and when this happened he just thought that the gambling they did had made him feel like a bad person and in the end they regretted it because they couldn't control their addiction.

It is not easy for a family to advise someone to stop. If they have no intention of stopping, they will continues to do it because addiction is a problem that is quite difficult to deal with. Yes, the role of the family is very important, but the person's actions are very wrong, so they are in prison for doing it punishment can make him sober and when he get out of prison he can be a better person and no longer addicted.

Gambling can be fun if done with a clear head and limits. I've seen how simple it is to become caught up in a win or a loss, both personally and in others.

I regularly say in this online community that gambling should be treated like any other hobby. The budget covers movies, food, and gambling. Sticking to this budget distinguishes the casual, delighted gambler from the one at risk of a problem. Its time to stop gambling when it becomes a chore.

Accepting losses changes the game itself. Sometimes a movie is bad, but you dont watch more movies to get your money back. Gambling becomes a kind of amusement that doesnt risk financial security when players play for enjoyment rather than to win or recover losses. I believe this concept can make gambling a healthy part of life.

Playing gambling should be for fun because gambling is an activity that provides pleasure. But people don't see it that way so they get sucked into gambling without being able to stop what they are doing. They continue gambling because they feel they still have a chance to win.

Limiting your budget for gambling has to be done to limit the amount of money you use. And while we're at it, we will try to stay within that budget limit because otherwise, we might be looking at an even bigger loss. And it will make us regret it when we discover how much money we have used to gamble.

And when they can't accept losing when gambling, they will probably continue gambling until they win. But some of them don't want to stop it because they feel that they already have good luck so they want to get even more luck. Gambling should be entertainment for people in their spare time instead of spending the whole day gambling because they hope to win more.

Addiction? Dopamine and decision-making dance in this brain game. Gambling isn't bad. Fire is useful, but don't play with it without training. You say control matters. Right on! Setting limits, understanding when to fold is key. This is life advice, not gambling. The catch: successful gamblers can be addicts. Why? Because it's not about money, honey. The thrill and chase matter. Danger lurks there

Let's be honest. Gambling can easily escalate. It also requires discipline. Carefully handle it, and you're playing. If you lose control, the game plays you. We tread a fine line, folks

What you say is all true and I agree with you. And yes, indeed, we have to do as you say. We should not underestimate gambling. We feel we can still control ourselves because we will not know how far we can survive the temptation of gambling. When we are tempted, we will not feel that we have entered into the temptation of gambling so we will continue gambling. We should be able to stop gambling before our money runs out completely because it will not be good for us. Apart from that, when we run out of money in gambling, it can make us want to deposit another amount of money to recover the losses.

And indeed, self-control, self-discipline and responsibility can help us prevent losing a lot of money. We must not exceed the limits in gambling because we will definitely lose and there is also a bigger impact than anything else where we can experience gambling addiction.

Mind control and emotional intelligence is required in gambling. The issue with gambling and gamblers is that it's freely made, anyone, anywhere will participate in gambling. Few people will only develop the urge to understand it better, while many others would focus on the funds. Playing without any experience on ways they could control their behavior. And stay clear from problem gambling. So, it's crucial for gamblers to learn from the mistakes of others and implement strategies that would help them not be in some ill problems with law enforcement agencies. Gambling was not created for players to commit problems in the society. Although it takes a large share of the blame, but the gambler knows he was careless about his moves and strategies. Instead of building up such bad records on gambling, it's better for newbie gamblers to focus on learning better how they could be good, responsible gamblers.

Playing gambling without any experience or not wanting to learn what is needed when playing gambling can put you at greater risk of losing money. Many people have experienced it so we don't need to try it because it will only make us lose even more money. We must not be careless in using our money and must always limit our money for gambling. Otherwise, we will only regret it when we see that all the money has been lost on the gambling table while we cannot recover the losses we have experienced. And instead of us also experiencing other big problems where we can become addicted to gambling because we don't have self-control, it's better that from now on, we have to learn better so that we can control ourselves when gambling. We must be able to understand that gambling is just entertainment, and there is no need to take it too seriously. We must always know that we have boundaries that must not be violated. That can prevent us from gambling excessively and can also prevent us from bigger problems where we can experience gambling addiction.

Of course, age is not an obstacle at all, or that means whatever age you are whether you are old or even still underage you still have the possibility of addiction, anyone can get addicted and this depends on how a person treats and responds to his gambling activity itself. Gambling is an activity that involves emotions and all living human beings have minds and emotions therefore there is absolutely no age limit for a gambler to enter and get stuck in the addiction zone which in the end as you said that the adverse effects of the situation are extraordinary, someone can do anything that is basically unreasonable and beyond reason which ultimately harms themselves as well as the people around them.

I understand that it is very difficult to overcome this, some advice will not be useful especially if the advice is from other people, but if the advice comes from a family member then I think it should be able to help a little because after all family members are one of their closest people and that means there is a possibility for a gambler who is already addicted to consider some of the suggestions that come in, but still in the end to overcome this addiction there really has to be a willingness and openness from the gambler himself because addiction lies in the mindset and beliefs of humans.

~ People lives and opportunities gotten in life varies. Some people are just more lucky than others and it’s just the way life is. There are people who have won considerably more than others, there’s no doubt about that and I agree. But I don’t think an individual could be so lucky and go on to have more wins than losses through out his entire gambling history.
No matter how lucky you a gambler is, I don’t think it could happen and I haven’t really heard anyone who actively gambles having more wins than losses. If someone like that happens to exist, that’s a lucky person for sure.

Why, of course there are such people. It's a known fact that there are many of them in poker, but some people succeed in even purely luck-based games like lottery for example. Some lucky people win millions in lottery, but it's hard to imagine that the same people lost millions during their gambling career. Same happens to some gamblers with slots. And slots and lottery are not the only games where this is possible. You can win more than a million on minesweeper or Roulette.

even if you have more losses than wins you could still end up being profitable with good bankroll management
here's a good article that explains that

Good bankroll management is a good thing, but it's dangerous to apply it to gambling, especially to purely luck-based games. No strategy works for those games, and if it were otherwise, all casinos would go bankrupt, and we wouldn't be discussing the madness of gambling addicts here. And I'd say, it's the madness to think that "Casinos would go bankrupt if people were better at math." What people? It would be enough just one person to clean out all the casinos in the world, if it were possible. But it's not possible, and it's important for a gambler to understand that.

oh, yes
this is where luck comes in the equation
it's not only about skill, math and logics
all the odds are stacked against the gambler and in favor of the house

good point Betwrong
sometimes there's no way to bet right.

Thank you! Yes, skill, math and logic won't help you to win in dice, but if you think of it, the odds are not that much in favor of the house, if we are talking this particular game. On most gambling sites the house edge of the dice game is only 1% and although it's true that the odds are still against you, it's not like it's impossible to win, you know. And even with slots that have 4%-5% house edge your win is possible.

But that's not to make gambling addicts out of regular gamblers. Gamble responsibly, guys. Have fun, don't try to make money even though the chance of that isn't that small.

good points again, you can find a balance where you gamble for fun with money you can afford to lose and don't become and addicted
and you are right 1% house edge isn't so high, I didn't know it was like that
even for slots.

what is the game you play the most?

It used to be Dice for like several years when I only had started with my gambling career. Then I switched to poker(not Video Poker, but real poker with real people at the table). And it's slots for like 3-4 years. I really like playing slots with good animation and sounds. Also, I've been always doing sports betting ... in fact, there's probably no game in gambling that I haven't tried.

for some reason I didn't really find slots that I enjoyed playing

by gambling carreer you mean, for real? you live out of gambling?
or you mean more like your journey on it?

poker is definitely more enjoyable in person than online.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

Gambling addicts have committed crimes just to satisfy their desires.An addicted gambler does not reason or care  about the actions they are about to carry out which means their urge is uncontrollable.For example the gambling addict that kidnapped his grand daughter to play a bet didn't care about the action he carried out because all his aim was to win the game so nothing seemed more valuable to him at that point than the gambling.Gambling addicts take risks that doesn't brings profits,some even go extra mile to lend money with interest,sell their valuables just to satisfy the addiction.Gambling is actually not a bad thing but when it becomes an addiction it then becomes a problem.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

Ironically when there are people who cannot control addiction in gambling, this is just a small example of many gamblers that ended worse and there are some who end their lives because they are in debt when gambling. Gambling is responsible when you are not addicted and when it cannot be controlled, in my opinion it is difficult to be responsible for gambling choices.

The problem is how you put gambling, if done only for fun in spare time is not a problem. But when gambling is done as a substitute for permanent work, this will be far more problematic and it is very difficult to control, the decision is in each of us and as much as possible avoid addiction in gambling.

Why do you think it is difficult to bear responsibility for the love of gambling. Who then should bear this responsibility? A person is directly responsible for things that deprive him of freedom. Including gambling.
Not all people can control themselves and play only for pleasure, so if a person has problems with addiction, this should be detected as early as possible and stop playing.

Stealing your granddaughter is probably an extreme degree of addiction. And it doesn’t matter whether we are talking about gambling addiction or drug or alcohol addiction or something else. When your own life begins to suffer due to gambling addiction, this is no longer a very good sign, but when others begin to suffer, this is something completely different. Here a person needs serious help, I know for sure that God can help where people cannot.

Gambling addiction can have tragic consequences. It's not just about the financial cost, it can also lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide, we've seen and heard of people who committed suicide simply they have incurred debts they have no idea of how to repay, all because of their gambling addiction. And it's not just the person with the gambling addiction who is affected - their family and friends can also be affected by the emotional and financial consequences.

I agree that we should all bear responsibility for  everything we do
Gambling is no exception
 of course one can also enjoy gambling and not see it as something that deprives them of freedom.

Yeah, at the end of the day many people just want to have fun really, and if you remove their way of having fun then I don't think that's a great society to be in.

In the end everyone wants to be a happy part of society and many times that can happen without so much interaction with others.

It's not just about the financial cost, it can also lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide, we've seen and heard of people who committed suicide simply they have incurred debts they have no idea of how to repay, all because of their gambling addiction. And it's not just the person with the gambling addiction who is affected - their family and friends can also be affected by the emotional and financial consequences.

That's right, gambling has tragic and devastating consequences in large numbers. Because there have been many cases of people who have suffered huge losses due to gambling or other things that are more detrimental to themselves whether it is financially or physically. There are also many people who are crazy about gambling where they spend a lot of money on gambling that is not clear that it will give them benefits. However, it cannot be hidden that many gambling addicts are currently on the loose, especially with the current online gambling.

Excessive gambling can harm yourself as well as others around us, because gambling addiction can indeed get us into debt, there are not a few cases of people whose lives were destroyed because of debt caused by gambling addiction. The negative impact of gambling addiction is great, because it does not only harm yourself. As you said his family and friends can be affected by their gambling addiction.

Exactly right.

Gambling is no joke.

It can of course be fun, and many people enjoy it casually, but definitely there is a certain amount of people that struggle with it, and that their whole lives have become way worse after their addiction to gambling.

But that's the same with anything really. If you lose control you end up at a bad spot.

Mind control and emotional intelligence is required in gambling. The issue with gambling and gamblers is that it's freely made, anyone, anywhere will participate in gambling. Few people will only develop the urge to understand it better, while many others would focus on the funds. Playing without any experience on ways they could control their behavior. And stay clear from problem gambling. So, it's crucial for gamblers to learn from the mistakes of others and implement strategies that would help them not be in some ill problems with law enforcement agencies. Gambling was not created for players to commit problems in the society. Although it takes a large share of the blame, but the gambler knows he was careless about his moves and strategies. Instead of building up such bad records on gambling, it's better for newbie gamblers to focus on learning better how they could be good, responsible gamblers.

Playing gambling without any experience or not wanting to learn what is needed when playing gambling can put you at greater risk of losing money. Many people have experienced it so we don't need to try it because it will only make us lose even more money. We must not be careless in using our money and must always limit our money for gambling. Otherwise, we will only regret it when we see that all the money has been lost on the gambling table while we cannot recover the losses we have experienced. And instead of us also experiencing other big problems where we can become addicted to gambling because we don't have self-control, it's better that from now on, we have to learn better so that we can control ourselves when gambling. We must be able to understand that gambling is just entertainment, and there is no need to take it too seriously. We must always know that we have boundaries that must not be violated. That can prevent us from gambling excessively and can also prevent us from bigger problems where we can experience gambling addiction.

The journey for every gambler is quite different. Those who wish to have a safe experience need to back it up with some knowledge of what they're doing. It's not a thing of competition, but a self-game against our thoughts and brain. Gamblers have nothing to bother about the house. Instead, reverse remains the case for most gamblers, they end up trying to defeat the house. Not every gambler has this type of orientation. Hence, they end up going through the harsh route of gambling, putting themselves into hardship. What matters is to enjoy the process and wager what we are able to lose. If not, I don't understand any other reason why a gambler shouldn't mind his funds and stay careful about how he wagers it.

Many are in a hurry to hit it big. While some are for the fun and learning critical techniques, others have the intention of stopping after a huge win, and many others who have their individual reasons of playing gambling. That's why it'll be hard to control the attitude of the numerous gamblers in the world. Millions don't have the backup knowledge of the need to be a responsible gambler. Nothing can be done about that, it's an individual journey. And no gambler is clean. Any player can be a victim. So, the safety routine should be practiced on daily basis. Gamblers shouldn't think that they're good and can't get into problem gambling, that could be a big lie. The whole time we gamble, we need to respect the rules and manage our bank roll.

indeed gambling is not a joke, because in my opinion things related to money and profits should not be made into a joke, especially since there are profit and loss factors, it is clear that something like this must be done carefully because otherwise of course big losses will be obtained and not there are people who want harm to happen to themselves. Therefore, we should gamble carefully, not just gambling, in my opinion all things involving money, including profits and losses, must be done carefully.

They enjoy their gambling so much that it makes them lulled into gambling which traps them in losses and addiction to gambling. It's true that what you said is that their lives are ruined because they are addicted to gambling, that's a case that happens a lot, now if you compare the number of people who gamble and are not addicted, maybe there are many who are addicted, and that also indicates the number of people whose lives are ruined because they are addicted to gambling financially or other. What you say is true, if we lose control then it will most likely end badly, like someone who is addicted to gambling, I think because they have lost control of themselves, where they have been lulled by gambling to the point that their thinking is not clear, hoping that gambling can give them victory. big ones and make them rich quickly.
