If you are tired of gambling and you no longer have any goal because of addiction or loss or because you are depleting your money with no return, you can take a break to address your affairs, analyze your mistakes, and find possible solutions, or stop completely, as you can invest your money in other projects. You are free to do what you want, and I wish you good luck.

Personally, I cannot stop, not because of addiction, but because I am new in this field and I am counting on it. Why not, perhaps something might change

There are things you cannot predict accurately except you're in the same situation of what others are battling with it, when it comes to discussions on addiction, its not something that you can just say with an ordinary mouth and it happens that same way, we have to look well into the situation and apply a techniques that could help achieve what we want, in this your case, you're only a newbie to gambling, the more you go the more you see.

And this is terrible, because for relatives, a problem player is a real grief in the family. I often heard the phrase "ludoman has no right to a family" from such problematic players, and they always said it with sadness and sincerity. Just imagine - your loved one is not drunk, not a drug addict, but his behavior is inappropriate and he is trying to take things out of the house. Spend all the money that is needed for the existence of the family. Perhaps this is the most terrible phenomenon of our century.

That's a mental disorder, and the person needs help. You see, when things as this happen, the addicted gambler's family will be confused on what to do, especially when the player has meddled with a huge portion of the family's wealth. But in any way possible the gambler should be taken to a therapist. It's all a shame, yes. Yet the addict is a human and should be privileged a second chance. Gambling addiction causes lots of family heartbreaks, but our own remains ours. Hence, one of us can't be completely neglected because of his gambling problem. However, it'll be hard to change the player, and make him responsible. As his thoughts has been focused to gambling, and nothing else. He may sound arrogantly when being asked some questions, and the family trying to pull out from helping him. But it's all a long-term healing process. It's a very painful condition for both parties. The gambler also suffers the pain for a long period.

The difficult someone faces Whenever they try to stop something actually depends on how much that thing has become a part of them. Every gamblers gambling routine is not the same with others therefore the easy for them to stop it still isn't same.
Besides, stopping gambling is not something most gamblers will do but stopping unhealthy gambling practices is definitely something worth doing.
Alot of gamblers will even be of the opinion that stopping gambling is more like telling them to stop having fun which actually sounds and seems irrational.

Some people don't have anything productive to do because they have grown to get their money easily and these kinds of people do not easy one to quit gambling because the losses are not affecting them as badly as those who are struggling to make money and they only make money from their hard-earned from their daily job. This kind of person is not really hard to convince because once they face a huge obstacle in their life and run out of money, they often quit gambling and focus on the more convincing way to earn their living rather than gambling all day which is not the same case for some people who haven't struggled to earn their money since they are rich and capable of losing it every day.

The gambler who loss the huge money in the gambling site will get more mentally disturbed.The gamblers who make money are the person who ready to loss the funds.No one going to report the gambling site for their winnings.So the gamblers should not blame the gambling site for the loss,if the gamblers had loss the funds it was mean that he not played the good game.

Playing gambling was not the easy one,it need of dedication and the money management techniques.The gamblers who want to make huge money should understand their current situation,So he can make the unique strategies in the gambling site to win huge from it.

Any gambling addict will find it difficult to receive any motivation to stop gambling activities, especially since they often get luck from gambling rather than losses that do not have a bad impact on their finances, in my opinion it is not a problem if they maintain gambling principles carefully as long as they allocate their budget to gambling and budgeting for future savings as a priority, but I am afraid that some gamblers with low economic status still risk their entire work income just to gamble and they ignore financial management, they will feel the worst impact when they need a budget for emergency needs. No one forces other people to stop gambling as long as they gamble according to the rules and determine the limits of funds for gambling, but if your economic conditions do not allow you to gamble then don't gamble regularly, but gamble at certain times just for fun.

What do you mean you are new in this field and you are counting on it? If you mean you are a novice gambler and you are expecting to get some good returns during your gambling sessions, then that is not better than being addicted to gambling, because in theong term the house will always win over their gambler who partake in on their casinos regularly. On the other hand, if you mean you are trying to open your own casino or betting book, that is a completely different story, you can make money out of it if you play your card properly, and if you slowly invest your money and time to give a good service to those gambler who are always seeking to small casinos to deposit into and trying themselves.
If you are gamblinf with the expectation of drastically improving your economical situation, when I advice you to stop trying. Chances are against you and it is more likely you will end up having less money than what you started your gambling journey. Invest in yourself, try to get education, learn some new language, getting a better job. Gambling is not a job, regardless and you have read about "professional gamblers", I would rather call them professional spenders. They get money from other sources, which may not be disclosed to the people they follow because of their allegedly successful gambling career. Take care and please be responsible with the money you have managed to get.

All these points of yours are only possible when someone isn't addicted to gambling yet. Quitting or refraining from gambling for an addict its very difficult because his sense are already sold into the gambling habit and he's totally absorbed. Quitting for an addict is a miracle or when in serious lack and his senses someone comes back, instead, he continues in his helpless condition until God know when.

For a newbie in gambling like you, I reprimand you for counting on gambling, listen and listen well, gamble responsibly and never be expectant from gambling because its the express way to addiction. Many of us that have gone that road wouldn't even wish it for our enemy talkless of a friend and I view you as one. gambling addiction is a very bad thing to experience as it leaves you a shadow of yourself and with lots of regrets at the long run

Once we do call an addict then those are people who cant just resist on playing gambling on which someone who do play continously despite of the condition that they are into.
Once you do find yourself be spending on the amount on which you cant already afford to lose then his is where we do really say that a certain person is addicted to it.
It might really looking that it is really just that easy to quit but on the time that on actual situation then this is the most challenging of all.
You would really be finding up yourself on messing up your life with before you would really be having those self realizations on which we know that we should have done that earlier
when things arent that still messy.

For such addicted gamers, it is extremely difficult to break out of it. They are like a squirrel in a wheel, running according to the same scenario. He earned money, made a deposit and started playing until he lost. This will continue until the player begins to understand things like: who is making money on me, what percentage of players remain in the black over the long haul in a particular game, how much will it take to lose to understand that it is time to stop. By answering such questions, the player gets closer to enlightenment and awareness of what he is doing in the game and whether he needs it in his life.

😁😁😁 I can't stop laughing when I saw your advice mate, with your writing I feel maybe you were once an addict that have maybe recovered due to the nasty experiences involved with gambling. Well notwithstanding what you said it true because gambling is actually no joke and not something that one would it their hope on to make as a means of survival, I personally know of some of my friends that have seldom complain and with the things I see them do I think I can advise myself never to get too serious with my habits.

Everything in life or something that you are getting involved with is something that you would really be needing to have that moderation or control because excessive engagement or dealing would might be resulting into those bad things or consequences on which it would really be a tough lesson learn for you as an individual.People would never ever learn not until on the time that they would really be experiencing those tough times on which you would really be that be thinking that you should have avoided on excessive behavior specially with gambling. You wont really be needing to experience those things but
usually people do really ends up into this condition.

Just like been said that quitting is hard and if you dont like to experience yourself on such condition then you should really be that responsible on the things that you've been dealing with.
You wont really be able to have those kind of problems if you are really just that responsible on what you are doing.

What I think is that everything is a process in life, because for us to do and achieve certain things in life we need to focus that we Must do things correctly, in this order of ideas we must be very careful when we are playing and when We are practicing Certain things to do, for example when we are in a casino and we get very excited, because we have to do our Best to be able to have the best attention, and if a person does not control himself, then he can Obviously fall into Addiction and That is what should be Avoided , that is why when we are Looking for Ways for people to overcome addictions, the formula is not the same for some and for some and for others, so when we set out to stop doing something, it is not so easy. , it leaves its consequences, just if a girlfriend leaves a particular person, that is difficult, maybe for the person or for Her , so these Things are Difficult to overcome sometimes.

So when I say that things can be efficient in the casino game because we can make a difference, then in this case many ways can be generated to attack things in the addiction of the game, but leaving it as such, I do not recommend it. 'because it can lead to a relapse and if the person is addicted it can have a very strong impact, because the person will get even with it, so if we do it in steps, slowly but surely, it is the best, that is, if it is Leaving the game can be left little by little, not playing with such intensity, that is, if before we played with 200usd, the next time we will play with 100usd, and the other time we will play with 50 uas and the rest will be Used but in time , that is to say. Practicing a sport is the best thing you can do to cover the prevailing need to play, that's a great idea, obviously if you have the money to go to a Psychologist it's much better.

When we are gambling at a casino, we must always remember when to stop gambling to avoid losing. If you still have difficulty determining when you can stop gambling, you should not gamble for a while and choose to do other activities that are safer and don't lose a lot of money. Stopping gambling is a must to avoid losing a lot of money so that we can use gambling as entertainment only and not try to make money from gambling because that will be very difficult. Many people have tried to stop themselves from gambling, but many people have not been able to do so and instead choose to gamble more and more often. They find pleasure in gambling, so it is still difficult for them to leave gambling. Maybe if they run out of all their money playing gambling, then they can stop themselves from gambling, but that's not feasible because we have to spend all the money before we can stop gambling. But if we can have discipline in gambling, we will remember when to stop gambling so that we don't have to spend a lot of money before we stop gambling.

When playing gambling, we must have clear boundaries so that we don't violate those boundaries, which could cause problems of losing more money. We cannot rely on gambling to get pleasure because we still have other things that can also give us pleasure. This depends on how we choose the activities, and if we have chosen gambling as a way to have fun, we should always limit gambling activities so that we can still enjoy gambling as entertainment. That is the purpose of gambling that many people forget and don't remember when to stop gambling. Apart from that, it is because of the desire to win that people return to gambling when they have more money. And no matter how much money they have, if they don't have self-control, the money will soon run out on gambling, and they won't have any money left that could be used to gamble another day. They can spread the money over several days rather than spending it in one day because that means they have to spend more money if they want to gamble another day.

Well in this aspect you are completely right, in fact most of us when we enter a casino can see that things are very unstable, especially with money , money is the only thing that makes us feel good with the casino at all times. , for this reason we must always Focus on Knowing how to handle it, emotions, other things like impulses and these things because they are what make us lose when we are not very clear how to control ourselves, that is why in the forum He talks a lot about self-control and even though it sounds very common, it is very difficult to get there without having lost some money. In fact, many people learn the game when they lose, and it is something that should not be, but this is something that sometimes cannot be avoided. In this order of ideas , many find it difficult to control the flow and the management of irrigation in a casino Even though it is something that should be easy for many.

Now when we are thinking about doing Something better, we realize that since we are generating ways to achieve the best profitability in a casino, they should follow my strategy, which has nothing to do with self-contro l, because it is It is very difficult sometimes to control Emotions , to Avoid this because there is nothing like putting a balance that I am willing to lose to be able to do things better, and after that balance not to deposit anymore, it is a matter of having discipline to be Able to Comply with that , Because controlling Emotions, Impulses, all of that is more Difficult,  so it is easier to have money ready to Spend , only then it is Easier , and this Strategy is the one I use for tradition, but you have to see if it can be Applied for the gambling is one of the advantages you have to do things better, I don't know, but I think it is very inflatable to avoid the problems that can Result in addiction.

Absolutely mate everytime we say that a gambler was addict then it will say that is too hard to leave or quit cause we all know their mind will always thinking the past which is they need to gambler for Their wants. Cause they will aim for the winning but in reality  everytime they put a bet there's a high chances of Lossing cause in gambling we can not predict the outcome of our bet which is pretty sure enough that it will make us dissatisfied once we learn that gambling is not the way we can make money like our daily jobs.

One of the reasons why a gambler can end up or enter the addiction phase is because from the beginning they have the wrong point of view and understanding about gambling, they think that gambling is a place that can provide them with income and nothing but this mindset is usually formed when they get a win at the beginning of their involvement in gambling so that it indirectly makes them conclude that gambling can be a place of income, But unfortunately gambling is not for that, because over time the results of gambling will be different - different, I mean that maybe you now manage to win a certain amount but it cannot be denied and it is very likely that in the next session you lose and lose all the money you won before.

The expectation that they put on winning makes them irresponsible gamblers in the sense that they can't accept the fact of losing at the end of the session, and of course their usual course of action is to chase the winnings to restore something that has been lost, but instead what happens is that they suffer even more losses. On the other hand, you have already said one of the reasons why gambling should not be used as a place to earn, that is because there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session, and that means that all the wins you manage to get are no more than a "coincidence".

If you are tired of gambling and you no longer have any goal because of addiction or loss or because you are depleting your money with no return, you can take a break to address your affairs, analyze your mistakes, and find possible solutions, or stop completely, as you can invest your money in other projects. You are free to do what you want, and I wish you good luck.

Personally, I cannot stop, not because of addiction, but because I am new in this field and I am counting on it. Why not, perhaps something might change

Anything addiction has never been easy, we need to know what we are doing to make a good decision that will help us achieve good things as a gambler not to become addicted to gambling. Gambling is a gambler of fund and we need to think very well before we gamble nit just because we want to make fast profits as gamblers.

Those that know how to play their games will be wise when taking decisions as gamblers. Making money is cool but something it's not as easy as we think especially for those of us that don't have the fund and don't have a job that is paying us, giving us income so that we can play bets and take care of ourselves with even thinking of gambling.

[nimogsm]

I got into gambling only for my entertainment and nothing else especially I never got into gambling to make money. So in my case there is no hard reality to face to get rid of gambling. I got into gambling just for fun and I can stop gambling at any moment. I have always considered myself mentally prepared and any time I will abstain from gambling forever. Especially I devote my alone time to gambling and other times I spend all my time on my personal work. Many people get addicted to gambling in such a way that they cannot come out easily but if they can control themselves mentally then it will not be difficult for them to stop gambling.

I have exactly the same position, I rarely play lately because I don’t have enough time for it. I prefer betting on sports, especially boxing, I have several favorite boxers and since they rarely bet on my favorite champion several times a year. Sometimes I also bet on football, but this can only happen if we are watching a match in the company of friends and someone there will also bet, then the viewing will be a little more interesting.I have no thirst for the game because I have very little free time to get completely involved in it all.

Good and bad achievements or results we obtain in the future will really depend on ourselves and our current decisions and this can never be influenced by other people because we ourselves are the ones who take the steps or carry them out.
As gambler we are in the red zone or danger zone because gambling is not an easy activity or can be said to be truly safe activity, gambling contains many different puzzles and risks but the negative impacts are much greater.
From here we must be able to start learning from the start to be in condition where we can walk comfortably and can protect ourselves from the risks and bad impacts of gambling, every step or decision we take will determine how and what we will get in the coming days.
It is necessary to be gambler who is wise, responsible and able to have lot of considerations and calculations regarding what we decide in each gambling session.
This is not only for preventing gambling addiction but also for our survival in the world of gambling.

In fact, gambling addiction has big chance of being experienced by all gamblers without exception, but there are still several very important things that must be done to minimize all of this so that it doesn't happen easily.
For every problem there will always be way or solution present and it depends on how we respond or apply it all.

This is actually a good escape goat when you're trying to quit gambling. When your time isn't enough to gamble and you'll eventually learn that to yourself that you're not gambling much anymore.
Soon, you're not going to bet anymore because of how hectic your schedule is and on how you're going to be more busy doing more important things than gambling.
That's how you make yourself flee from gambling and it can be an easy strategy because you have other important things to cater.

Yeah, keep yourself busy and not to allow your brain to think about anything that relates into gambling, I think you will start to established good control inside your head, if you start to accomplish something eventually it will allow you to make things happen, quitting is possible for those who can control both time and money, the way they execute everything while inside gambling will determine if they are good in working with their emotin, if you can then you will continue to keep yourself at the safe side and avoid losing more money and time inside gambling.
