The madness of gambling addicts.

[piebeyb]

When a gambler lose their money in a losing streak, they become madness and lose their mind. At that time, they can spend more money just to recover their lost and will not think about what will happen to them if they loss all of their money. They will only chase the win and play many gambling games and hope they can win from one or two gambling games. They really need to change their minds because that is a wrong thing if they just playing gambling without stop. They will not enjoy the games instead just losing their money.

Yes, that's right. The average craziness of gambling addicts is that they are too busy chasing their losses so that in the end they don't really enjoy the gambling game they are doing, that's why gambling addicts are difficult to cure because their mindset will continue to try to recover their losses, namely by continuing to trying to gamble hoping to win and also recover the losses they experience while gambling, most of them without realizing it do not fully understand gambling even though as a gambler you should not only be ready to win but also be ready to lose.

But most gambling addicts are not ready to lose so they are more busy chasing their losses when they actually experience a losing streak which makes them lose a lot of money in gambling and also lose their minds during gambling and become crazy to chase what they have lost, that should be an important concern for other gamblers that winning at gambling is not the main thing that must be pursued, but it is also important to understand how to experience defeat. Don't gamble if you don't want to experience defeat. Stop if you start to become addicted to gambling and play responsibly.

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.

Yeah, every gambler's journey is different and will not be the same. But they have the same things to learn to avoid anything bad happen to them. Many gamblers can't hold themselves regard winning the gambling games which makes many of them lose their mind because of wanting to beat the house. They already know it's not easy to do but they don't want to stop even if they used more money. A gambler shouldn't chase the win as gambling is not design to give winning easily. A gambler should enjoy their time playing gambling in their spare time and always limiting their money. They don't need to play gambling too seriously considering gambling is just for fun. If they can't control their mind, they will lose their money and can't enjoy their time playing gambling.

When a gambler lose their money in a losing streak, they become madness and lose their mind. At that time, they can spend more money just to recover their lost and will not think about what will happen to them if they loss all of their money. They will only chase the win and play many gambling games and hope they can win from one or two gambling games. They really need to change their minds because that is a wrong thing if they just playing gambling without stop. They will not enjoy the games instead just losing their money.

Gamblers are surrounded by illusions of grandeur, where every card or dice throw promises more. The belief in beating the house is our common stupidity. The seductive song of gambling deceives many because the thinking is faulty, not because the issue exists

Gambling is enjoyment, not a source of revenue, and should never become necessary. It's game over when it does. Experience and the thrill of the unknown matter more than triumphs and losses. If one doesn't realize this, the game plays them. Your budget, time, and sanity are more valuable than a prize. Please respect them. Gambling should enhance life, not consume it. Control is lifesaving, not simply a strategy

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.

Quick money can blind the best of us, turning an innocuous hobby into a devouring beast. I've seen how gambling can trap people and ruin them. Addiction trumps reason, according to the data.

Remember the power of personal agency. Though loss is high and addiction is strong, education and self-control make effective opponents. Gambling education and addiction detection are vital. Responsible gambling and support networks for the fallen are needed. Not merely avoiding injury, but also building resilience and healing.

It's true that money can blind us, after all, who doesn't want a lot of money that can only be obtained with small capital, but in reality it's not like that. To get a lot of money of course we have to work hard, it is true that in gambling there is an opportunity to get profitable wins, but it is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand. Therefore, we must be aware that excessive gambling will only get us into trouble.

I agree with you, self-control is the most effective opponent to avoid gambling addiction, with strong self-control we can gamble knowing the limits. Most people who are crazy about gambling probably do not have good self-control so they are trapped in a cycle of gambling addiction which is clearly detrimental to them. It is very important to have self-control in gambling because it can determine us in the future. There have been many cases of people experiencing big problems because of gambling without good self-control, getting into debt, stress and even ending their lives. This has happened because of the bad effects of gambling, so from It is very important that gambling must be done with good self-control as well as limits and do it carefully.

[summonerrk]

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

It will always end worse for anyone who cannot control the activity of spending money irresponsibly and that doesn't only apply to gambling because out there there are also cases of drug use that end much more tragically.
It is difficult to be a responsible gambler when people only rely on gambling as a place to make money because they may not be able to make a portion of the money they spend.
Gambling is always interpreted as a negative form because it is difficult for gamblers to control themselves, but for me if people can control their budget for gambling it is not a problem.

The topic of gambling in comparison with drugs is very interesting, because many people believe that in both cases it is an addiction, but I believe that these are very different addictions. It is clear that in both cases the ultimate goal is to obtain pleasure, but in uncontrolled gambling the player is always conscious, unlike a drug addict who shows his inadequacy only when under the influence of substances. Many experts believe that in extreme cases it is necessary to treat drug addicts and problem gamblers differently, and I agree. It is definitely necessary to change the thinking of these people, and the main thing is that they themselves want it.

Don't gamble if you don't want to experience defeat. Stop if you start to become addicted to gambling and play responsibly.

The craziness of gambling addicts that chasing their loss needs to stop right away. Otherwise, they will get a big loss because of that and can't stop themselves or even realize that what they did are wrong. It needs other people to tell to addicted gamblers that they must stop it before their lives ruin and they will only regret it and can't fixed what they've done. Other people around them needs to change the addicted gamblers mindset so he can realize that something bad is on the way to hunt them without they can feel. It's why people who closest to the addicted gamblers must closer to him and always reminds him to do other things to distract their minds. Sooner or later, it can help the addicted gamblers to see that there is something wrong to him and he needs to make a change.

Most gamblers are not ready to loss and makes many gamblers still trying to recover their loss but that will gives them a losing streak that can reduce their money fast. It's why every gamblers must realize that they don't use gambling too often and only gambling in their free time and always limit their gambling activity. Many example cases that we already knows and that's why we must take care ourselves better than before to prevent the bigger loss and the addiction in gambling. It's better to playing gambling responsibly and carefully spending the money to prevent any negative effect from gambling.

Gamblers are surrounded by illusions of grandeur, where every card or dice throw promises more. The belief in beating the house is our common stupidity. The seductive song of gambling deceives many because the thinking is faulty, not because the issue exists

If one doesn't realize this, the game plays them. Your budget, time, and sanity are more valuable than a prize. Please respect them. Gambling should enhance life, not consume it. Control is lifesaving, not simply a strategy

Gamblers must have a way to prevents the illusions so that they are not tempted to falls into this illusion. They don't have to believe to beating the house because that will be very difficult. The house is the owner of the casino so the gamblers will not have a chance to make much money from gambling. Gamblers can only playing gambling with carefully and trying to enjoy their moment to get the fun.

Gambling is an activity to have fun and not a ways to make money. That is we need to remember so we don't playing gambling excessive. If we always control ourselves playing gambling, we don't need to worry about anything and only needs to enjoy the gambling games. We will quit gambling after we get fun without having intention to chase the winning because that will be difficult.

The topic of gambling in comparison with drugs is very interesting, because many people believe that in both cases it is an addiction, but I believe that these are very different addictions. It is clear that in both cases the ultimate goal is to obtain pleasure, but in uncontrolled gambling the player is always conscious, unlike a drug addict who shows his inadequacy only when under the influence of substances. Many experts believe that in extreme cases it is necessary to treat drug addicts and problem gamblers differently, and I agree. It is definitely necessary to change the thinking of these people, and the main thing is that they themselves want it.

I believe you are correct that the psychology of drug addiction and gambling addiction differs, despite certain similarities. Drug addiction causes the person to become physiologically reliant on the substance, and when they stop using it, their body may experience withdrawal symptoms. However, in cases of gambling addiction, the individual is typically psychologically addicted on the pleasure and excitement of gambling, and they may not feel physical withdrawal symptoms when they quit. This can make it more challenging to cure gambling addiction because it is harder to persuade someone to give up something they enjoy.

They are actually quite similar.

When a gambler is in a high, they act irrationally. They will go and take all their money out from an ATM, etc.

They are not thinking normally. Similar to how a drunk person behaves differently than when sober.

That's why casinos try to keep all the external signs like sunlight and clocks away from view, so that the gambler can continue getting into their addiction.

I think Drug addiction is far worse and harder to cure and I can witness that since all of those who get to serve in prison due to their drug addiction whether they were users or pushers, when they get out, they back to where they were left and they ended up becoming worse than before. Unlike most of whom I know that were used to gambling, they have completely changed and don't engage in cock fighting anymore or some Lottos rather they just continue living their lives normally as the others. Drugs lead users to become crazy and there are lots of people who become crazy here in our community right now.

I don't see both as been similar. Drug addict become addicted to drug due to the pleasure he/she derive from the drugs but most gambling addict become addicted not majorly because of fun but became they are greedy and see gambling as a way to make quick money. Most people that gamble for fun don't get addicted to gambling as they just gamble to caugh cruise.

I don’t think they are similar, because in each case there is a different change in a person’s consciousness. If there are problems with gambling, money completely depreciates. For such a player, they become like just numbers: on the deposit screen in slots or card games. The meaning that money has weight and is earned is lost. And this condition is permanent for a gambler, and it will remain with him for the rest of his life if he is not treated. But for a drug addict, the desire to get money appears only when a new dose is needed, that is, money for him is only an intermediate goal.
It is also worth noting that a problem gambler does not deteriorate his health so quickly.

Drug addiction is a systemic failure. Check the recidivism you mentioned. They're honest. They demand a change in addiction policy. It's not about locking people up and throwing away keys. Understanding social, psychological, and economic reasons is key

When discharged, individuals return to the environment that caused their addiction. What else can they do without assistance or options but revert? A system that prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation and isolation over community assistance creates this cycle

To clarify, labeling drug users insane is pointless. They're struggling, not mad. This puzzle requires mental wellness. Our solutions must treat both symptoms and disease. Education, prevention, rehabilitation, and aftercare are the pillars of a society that wants to tackle its drug issue, not merely lock it up

Yes, both have elements that can make a person addicted or feel dependent, one of the things that makes a person unable or difficult to leave gambling because they have difficulty in reaching their consciousness and they cannot ignore something that looks very tempting that is there and for the drug itself, one of the things that makes a person addicted is because of the heroin substance that can make a person dependent, and actually for the problem of addiction to these two things over between gambling and drugs both have elements to increase dopamine levels in the brain which makes it difficult for someone to escape this habit.

But on the other hand for the handling problem, in my opinion, it is a little easier to handle people who are addicted to gambling than drug addiction, because gambling addiction depends on the desire of the person himself, what I mean is that if people who are addicted to gambling are really aware and have the determination to stop then they can do it, but for drugs, as I said above that there is an element of dependence, One of the things that makes me know about this is because I have one of my friends who is addicted to drugs, he really wants to quit but it's difficult, and one of the difficulties is that when he doesn't take drugs then he loses his fitness and gets sick which means he can't even work because his body becomes weak and this is what is called dependence.

Gambling and drug addiction are difficult to overcome. Dopamine is a sneaky drug that makes the brain want more. However, your point about gambling addiction being easy to treat is somewhat true. Psychological control versus physiological chain; mental resolve versus chemical needs. The "big win" idea attracts gamblers financially. Financial sandpit. The key? Financial literacy and budgeting. Know the worth of money and the work it takes to get it might help many realise reality.

Entertainment is dual-purpose. It triggers and may treat. Alternative entertainment helps refocus the mind. Rewiring the brain's reward system is difficult. Physiological dependence hinders drug addiction recovery. Heartbreakingly common is your friend's struggle. Fitness loss and illness without drug? Body screams for its fix. Professional help is crucial, but only one part. Community support, empathy, and patience are essential.

Yeah, one of the key elements in recovering from an addiction is the social support.

If someone feels lonely, they will most likely continue with their addiction.

It is helpful to have others around you in those times. That is partly why things like AA work well for some people. The social aspect is built in with them.

Someone who is addicted to gambling really needs social support to cure their addiction and this support comes from close friends and family, someone who is lonely will not easily cure their addiction because they are unable to control themselves alone and need the help of other people so the role of these people is very important for an addict, if his family or friends care, they shouldn't mind helping with things like that because family and friends have to help each other.
If he intends to stop his addiction, the help of other people should make the recovery process easier and it doesn't need to take a long time.

Drugs lead users to become crazy and there are lots of people who become crazy here in our community right now.

If you really look at both, you'll realize that both gambling addiction and drug addiction can be very devastating in their own way so I wouldn't be wise to compare one to another.
With gambling addiction, a person is likely to loose everything they have, their job, home, family and even their lives. They may also experience financial problems, legal problems and even health problems as a result of their addiction.
And with drug addiction, a person may also lose everything they have,, they're also likely to experience physical health problems as well as legal problems. They may also lose their relationships as well as their mental health.
But one thing we know is that, a gambling addict is likely to take his own life out of frustration and depression but the chances of a drug addict taking his own life is slim.
So it's not really a question of which is worse, but rather a question of how each addiction affects each person's life individually, because they all have different ways they affect others.

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?

No no, I'm not living out of gambling. I  meant my journey on it. My profit from this journey is positive though. It's like several thousand dollars plus. But I know it's just Lady Luck was inclined to me. I have no idea how to actually live from gambling.

poker is definitely more enjoyable in person than online.

And again no, I meant online poker, but the one where real people are sitting at the table as opposed to Video Poker, which more like slots or online dice.

Especially when dopamine is encouraged or accompanied by expectations such as winning in gambling, it will obviously be more difficult for a gambler to stop, on the other hand, in my opinion and to my knowledge, gambling addiction is a little easier to overcome than drug addiction, Although both are addictions which means habits that are difficult to break but for gambling addiction itself is something that is in the brain and human desires, which can still be cured provided that he "wants" to change it based on awareness and you have mentioned several points that are suggested so that a gambler can achieve his awareness, one of which is by knowing and appreciating the value of money.

On the other hand I believe that at first someone who ends up addicted to either gambling or drugs they don't realize that these activities can make them end up with a lot of problems, such as gambling with financial problems and drugs that cause problems with their physical and fitness, at first maybe they just want pleasure especially someone who tries to taste drugs, because there is peace of mind as an effect but with a dose that is still within reasonable limits, but in the end the dose will increase over time and that triggers dependence. Honestly, it's very worrying to see my friend who always falls ill when it comes to recovering from drug addiction, but there's nothing I can do but comfort him and this is the process he has to go through to recover.

Gambling and drug addiction are difficult to overcome. Dopamine is a sneaky drug that makes the brain want more. However, your point about gambling addiction being easy to treat is somewhat true. Psychological control versus physiological chain; mental resolve versus chemical needs. The "big win" idea attracts gamblers financially. Financial sandpit. The key? Financial literacy and budgeting. Know the worth of money and the work it takes to get it might help many realise reality.

Entertainment is dual-purpose. It triggers and may treat. Alternative entertainment helps refocus the mind. Rewiring the brain's reward system is difficult. Physiological dependence hinders drug addiction recovery. Heartbreakingly common is your friend's struggle. Fitness loss and illness without drug? Body screams for its fix. Professional help is crucial, but only one part. Community support, empathy, and patience are essential.

Yeah, one of the key elements in recovering from an addiction is the social support.

If someone feels lonely, they will most likely continue with their addiction.

It is helpful to have others around you in those times. That is partly why things like AA work well for some people. The social aspect is built in with them.

Yes. There’s something about holding yourself accountable after giving your word of honor to other people
Identifying what triggers your bas behaviors and addiction will be of good use on helping to avoid addiction, be it for new things or old habits

I believe you are correct that the psychology of drug addiction and gambling addiction differs, despite certain similarities. Drug addiction causes the person to become physiologically reliant on the substance, and when they stop using it, their body may experience withdrawal symptoms. However, in cases of gambling addiction, the individual is typically psychologically addicted on the pleasure and excitement of gambling, and they may not feel physical withdrawal symptoms when they quit. This can make it more challenging to cure gambling addiction because it is harder to persuade someone to give up something they enjoy.

I think Drug addiction is far worse and harder to cure and I can witness that since all of those who get to serve in prison due to their drug addiction whether they were users or pushers, when they get out, they back to where they were left and they ended up becoming worse than before. Unlike most of whom I know that were used to gambling, they have completely changed and don't engage in cock fighting anymore or some Lottos rather they just continue living their lives normally as the others. Drugs lead users to become crazy and there are lots of people who become crazy here in our community right now.

If you really look at both, you'll realize that both gambling addiction and drug addiction can be very devastating in their own way so I wouldn't be wise to compare one to another.
With gambling addiction, a person is likely to loose everything they have, their job, home, family and even their lives. They may also experience financial problems, legal problems and even health problems as a result of their addiction.
And with drug addiction, a person may also lose everything they have,, they're also likely to experience physical health problems as well as legal problems. They may also lose their relationships as well as their mental health.
But one thing we know is that, a gambling addict is likely to take his own life out of frustration and depression but the chances of a drug addict taking his own life is slim.
So it's not really a question of which is worse, but rather a question of how each addiction affects each person's life individually, because they all have different ways they affect others.

Agree to that,  the level of addiction would determine how a person acts, comparing these two with same level of addiction as you mentioned about the worse things that both can do to ruined their lives, both can exceed to something that unexpected just to proceed and please their addiction,  to the extent that they no longer minding to what fate is awaiting for them, the only concerns that they have is to make sure that they will be able to continue.

Both gambling addicted individuals and drug dependent person would not mind doing things that will let them to continue their addictions, the reason why we heard or watch  in the news that this kind of people do something illegal.
