The madness of gambling addicts.

[Kavelj22]

I think that things have to be done to help players whatever the problem, that for me is welcome, especially for those who need advice or need support in their addiction and therefore if there is a guide, if there are options for help, because we must support him, I think that if a good advice can relieve a person, then we must give it, because in part none of us are perfect and we will always need help or we will need to help, I think that is what this life is about, to help, to serve so that everything is good for others, otherwise I believe that life would have no meaning.

As I said in my previous reply, dealing with gambling problems should be taking care of in specialized centers with the help of experts. This can be confirmed by referring to data regarding recovery cases, of which we find that more than 90 percent are in treatment centers, following a precise care program, while the remaining 10 percent are cases that were able to overcome their disease states on their own, meaning that they have a strong determination to decide to finally quit gambling without the need for any external intervention.

I am not saying that this application is absolutely bad or useless, but it can be described as a collection of many contents in one application. These contents are found scattered on the Internet, and those wishing to search can find them without the need for an application. I also confirm that the application can help cases in areas where treatment methods are not available and the patient is ignorant of the steps that can be followed to help him.

these days I read a very sad article and when I saw this thread I immediately went looking for the article and managed to find it, it's a sad story that talks about a guy who, because of his addiction, destroyed his life and that of his family, in this article we can see the dangers of addiction, when people are unable to go to the doctor early when they notice the first signs of addiction it becomes a very serious problem, this can be seen in this guy's story:

That's a very sad story and it shows exactly why we shouldn't allow young people to engage with gambling. He was nine years old, FFS! What were his parents doing? It's the toughest fate if you win in that age, and that's what happened to Ritzenhein, the main character in the story. He was turning his life into hell afterwards(and the lives of all those around him too, I'm sure). It's good he found strength to call Problem Gambling Help Line. Hope they will help him.

9 years old, tuff one
we should treat gambling as a drug so age restrictions are probably a good policy
the thing is that many parents don't care that much or don't put such a good filter on this...
crazy but true.

So what can this kid do when he grows up if he at 9 is already gambling.I can predict with a high efficiency that most likely he will be a thug,a thief or even a killer as this way of life brings you up only if you are already gambling at the age of 9.In here full responsibility is on the parents of this kid and they are the sole people at faulty for what this kid was able to do,it seems that they lack completely the level of education to give to this kid and maybe they have focused on their careers to improve their lives and provide this kid a better future yet by doing so they have unintentionally put the kid into gambling because they had no time to educate him or to spend with him to learn him the good and bad things.What a waste of parents.

Most likely that is what makes that kid when he grows in the right age as he/she is exposed to that particular activity during their young age. We all know that it might be absorbed by their young minds faster than us so yeah we should take it seriously and we have to do it privately and in a responsible way as possible so kids will not be influenced by gambling way too early.

Yes I agree with this, we have to change our point of view towards gambling, it can be like what you said which is thinking that gambling is like drugs or other things that have bad effects like alcohol for example, and we have to really explain about it to a child so that they really stay away from gambling when they see other people around them who are gambling or when they hear someone adult who is talking about gambling.

On the other hand yes as you said that unfortunately parents don't seem to care much about the safety of their children, but on the other hand I am sure that no matter how bad the personality of parents I am sure that they always want their children to be the best or have a better life than themselves, But maybe there are some parents who don't know about the various possibilities that can make their children fall into gambling, one of them is in terms of the internet, as we know that online casinos are increasingly popular and the internet is the biggest place for them to promote, and if parents don't limit their children's access to the internet or social media then maybe they don't know that gambling is stalking their children.

this prediction makes no sense AT ALL
I'd love to see studies on the topic but my feelings tell me that being predisposed to get addicted to gambling don't translate to making you more prone to get addicted to substances or even to behave imorally.

and if you have to get addicted to something the best option is probably something that make you good as a first option like a healthy hobby, sport or exercising style, and second to gambling because if you end up getting good at it and learn to manage risk and bankroll you'll be rich

the big problem (for themselves, but a solution for the house earnings) is with the gamblers who don't learn and just keep spending.

Parents are not completely to be blamed about their negligence on the teaching their children about gambling and other intoxicating substance which can ruin their lifestyle in future. Every adult today is faced with too many responsibilities that could extremely consume the adult's time to tutor his kids and make them prepared against any troubling activity like gambling. People are now busily working on making money to run their homes and business. The time to teach kids is quite rare to make out.

However, doing the needful as an adult is crucial, time always may show up, though many would prefer sleeping with their free time. But, no way a parent wouldn't have few moments with the kids to question them about their new habits and what bothers them, thereby teaching them about avoiding gambling. I'd also add that not every parent is capable of harnessing all these knowledge. Most of them are not gamblers and wouldn't teach what they're not familiar with. Hence kids from such homes still have to face the disputes of gambling problem if they watch gambling ads on social media.

Gambling addiction with it problem and the ways one can handle it or try to solve it.Some persons turn to become what they don't want or never wanted to be because of addiction,and find it difficult to be able to live without being a menace to the family and society at large.Everyone who is addicted has one or two challenges that he or she is passing through which might cause damage to their mental health,but hope and patience make people that are still gambling continue it,hoping for better days,which is a day of luck.

But that "day of luck" may never happen until all your capital is gone. It's possible.
Gambling addiction is an expensive bad habit and I think anyone who is near being one should start thinking about stopping it. Even if you are rich, you can end up living in the streets if one person would not be able to control it.
There are ways to feed our boring times and I think focusing on those different hobbies will be the key to avoid gambling the whole day.
Yes, it can also cause mental damage which usually starts with stress when you keep on losing and don't have any idea how you will get back all the money you spent. I've been on that position many times that I could tell I should stop because I am losing more than what I can afford to lose. It's not healthy anymore especially if you set a budget and you are not following your own rules and limit anymore.

crazy but true.

i understand that at one point gambling can be as dangerous as drugs, but we cannot equate gambling with drugs, because the impact of drugs is much greater than gambling. this is just a matter of regulation because if the government really pays attention to gambling regulations then the number of children affected by gambling can be further reduced and the importance of education about gambling in schools, so that children understand better that at their age they should not be involved in gambling.

Why do you think that more educational programs in educational institutions will solve the problem of gambling addiction among minors? As far as I know in many countries around the world there is a similar program aimed at attracting attention to contraceptives. Young people laugh at such programs, the number of STDs is growing, and the birth rate among minors is still too high.

It is practically impossible to regulate this sphere as well as private cryptocurrencies, because there are loopholes that are available to almost anyone who knows a little about cryptocurrencies and knows how to use means of circumventing Internet blockages.

That is if people are ready to see gambling and something they need to be conscious about. Gambling should be more of restrictions to people that are young and tender. The people that are not disciplined should also take the fact that they needed to be wise when it comes to gambling or restrict it to some certain level.

We can all make money from doing different things we love to do and we should not see gambling as our only source of survival. If we keep to thinking that people would come to our aid we gamble to a level we becomes broke with no means of paying bills, we could be surprised of not getting a source to borrow money from especially when things go wrong.

Actually when we do go to school this one is really that being mentioned or something that being taught. It is really just that people do really that forget or something that will really be just that common sense
that whenever you do deal up with gambling then you should really be that having that good control. Actually it isnt really that needing any education for this one for you to be able to find yourself to be able to control and make out some good decisions in regarding about moderation and control. Peoples lives do really messed up at the moment that they will really be making out some shit decisions into their lives on which they wont really be thinking that it could really that affect their condition basing up into the decisions that they had made.

Gambling isnt really that bad if you are really just that making yourself that responsible towards your actions. There are really just that those individuals who are really that too delusional
when it comes to gambling on where they do really that believe that it could really make them rich without even trying out to realize that they are really just that
basically putting up themselves on huge potential disaster.

With over exceeded budget and the time that you are spending inside the house, that's connects you to something that remove the balance between your self control and your emotions, once you already aiming to keep playing instead of following whatever your set limits, expect to see yourself regretting what will you become after, addiction is something that tough to compete with, it's more on your self-will and that adrenaline inside you who keep pushing you to keep playing for more.
Most of those gambling addicted person no longer have that control inside them that's the reason why they are capable to do something that unexpected from them, most are worse things that ruined both their relationship and most to their finances.

If we keep to thinking that people would come to our aid we gamble to a level we becomes broke with no means of paying bills, we could be surprised of not getting a source to borrow money from especially when things go wrong.

Indeed, many people experience big losses or other problems such as stress or broken relationships with their families, being in debt and so on because they gamble too much. where they cannot limit the gambling they do so they continue to gamble by putting money in again and again. Someone who is addicted to gambling is of course less likely to ignore things that are happening around them or even themselves. by continuing to gamble even though it always ends in defeat, it makes them lose a lot of money, but why do they continue to gamble even though they often lose? I think there is a strong urge that makes them continue gambling, namely the desire to win.

It's true, it's very wrong if gambling is considered a source of income that can help our finances, because the chance of making money is smaller than the chance of losing money. Therefore, it's only natural that the gambling you do ends up losing because of the casino. aiming for the main money. Even if other people already know someone is addicted, I don't think they will lend money even if the reason is to pay bills or buy necessities, because of course someone who is addicted to gambling will usually do anything to make money, one of which is by borrowing money.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think that things have to be done to help players whatever the problem, that for me is welcome, especially for those who need advice or need support in their addiction and therefore if there is a guide, if there are options for help, because we must support him, I think that if a good advice can relieve a person, then we must give it, because in part none of us are perfect and we will always need help or we will need to help, I think that is what this life is about, to help, to serve so that everything is good for others, otherwise I believe that life would have no meaning.

As I said in my previous reply, dealing with gambling problems should be taking care of in specialized centers with the help of experts. This can be confirmed by referring to data regarding recovery cases, of which we find that more than 90 percent are in treatment centers, following a precise care program, while the remaining 10 percent are cases that were able to overcome their disease states on their own, meaning that they have a strong determination to decide to finally quit gambling without the need for any external intervention.

I am not saying that this application is absolutely bad or useless, but it can be described as a collection of many contents in one application. These contents are found scattered on the Internet, and those wishing to search can find them without the need for an application. I also confirm that the application can help cases in areas where treatment methods are not available and the patient is ignorant of the steps that can be followed to help him.

Well, excellent, whatever the solution is so that addiction problems end, because everything is possible, I have always said something, we and many of us speak so lightly about addiction, and that is a very serious condition, the truth is that many people do not, they do not achieve it and end up committing suicide and causing the lives of their families to become a tragedy. I think every addict who gets better should always tell the story of him using whatever method he was healed from, so that he can be an example to those who are Currently Going through it. In such a tense and difficult situation, one must be very tactful in these types of issues.

There is always a problem with those addicts who do not have room in their environment to deal with doctors who specialize in addiction treatment, or who refuse to deal with specialists because they are not convinced that they are sick. I take this opportunity to stress the need to deal with caution with these gambling addicts, especially if they are family members or close friends. They can focus on these points:
- Try to motivate gambling addicts to go to a professional doctor and suggest the benefits they will get from treatment.
- You must speak kindly and respectfully to the addict and show them that you care about their health and well-being.
- Try to provide support and self-help to the addict, for example by providing information about treatment and self-support.
- Do not lose hope even if addicts refuse treatment. Try again and provide constant support and encouragement.

the main thing is that some people need help but won't search for it or accept or even recognize their problem
being respectfull for sure will be a way and not losing hope but some situations are much harder than other ones
prevention is always the best way if we have time

People can do very nice things because of gambling a lot of things that is not reasonable and sensible for him to accommodate because of the aim of getting money through gambling what I understand on gambling is and make it do what you never think of doing gambling commit you so bad and make it stand on how to take money from people just to maintain the complain have it because you already have him that you win me why you have not even close to winning even if you win it’s just some little.
