Gambling and it effects

[BitDane]

I see a lot of people blaming gambling for all sorts of things in this thread, but I think it’s also important to have some personal responsibility and accountability for your own actions. The fact is if you want to be irresponsible with your money there are a million ways to do it, but at the end of the day it is you that makes the decision whether or not to risk your money.

I highly agree with you.  Gambling does not force people, people force themselves into gambling.  Gambling is just am action were people wager anything with value to win a higher value.  It is the person that made the decision whether to gamble or not, how much money they will allocate and how long they are playing.  Gambling activities is fully controlled by a person so if ever something went wrong, it should be the person to be blamed and not gambling itsef.

[STT]

Its not the gambling but the brain activity or habit that forms and its not really exclusively gambling but the pattern of thinking and feeling that goes with it.  I make some mistakes where I know its a mistake while doing it but I continue, thats why I describe it as a kind of habit or automated patterned behavior.  If people can break the repetition of the mistake thats the main thing, I wouldnt look down on someone for repeating a mistake exactly but at least admit this was incorrect and at that point you can attempt to alter the bad habit and it should be a start to do so.

We are participating in gambling activities so frequently that it has become an addiction. Surname, it is easy to fall into depression or regret after spending money on gambling and suffering from health problems related to stress, migraines, digestive disorders, insomnia... Gambling addiction causes severe financial consequences, damages the addict's relationships, and even ruins the person's career and life. Most people who are addicted to gambling only realize their problem when some severe consequences or damage have occurred.

And who is to be blamed for such consequences? Taking into consideration the fact that gambling does not causes so much disaster to a person as you out listed but sometimes due to selfishness, lazyiness most people often regrets after getting addicted. It would be funny to know that some persons refuse to go out and find their daily survivals but relentlessly rely on gambling most times dey even need to beg at first before getting the money for gambling

I think it's completely normal for people to blame gambling especially when they see its negative impact on theirselves and their families. But it's crucial to recognize that personal responsibility doesn't mean dismissing the challenges that come with gambling addiction. It's about acknowledging that while external factors like the availability of gambling options exist gamblers still have the power to make decisions and taking ownership of those choices can empower people to seek help, set limits and make positive changes in their lives. We should know tht there are always consequences to our actions.

The ones to blame are those of us who cannot have limits in gambling. We must examine ourselves to find anything that needs improvement. And if we have experienced a gambling addiction, we must immediately talk to other people so they can help us immediately.

Many negative effects arise from gambling and gambling addiction is a severe effect that gamblers will experience. Those addicted to gambling can no longer stop easily because all they think about is gambling. They might even borrow money from other people to gamble, even though that doesn't guarantee they can win.

But if we are willing to try to reduce our gambling time by doing other things, such as looking for a job that can make money, we can have the opportunity to reduce our gambling time.

Blaming gambling for ones financial misfortunes I think is an archaic idea of people who are always trying to shift blames from themselves on actions they're supposed to be held accountable for.
Gambling is an engagement that people do get involved in just to make money from it and while some people control how they gamble and quit when they're not winning, others becomes addicted to it which as a result loses all their capital and instead of blaming themselves for engaging in gambling in the first place, they resort to blaming gambling that doesn't force people to play it

[moneystery]

from what you said, i think it's not gambling that damages them, but they damage themselves. how many people gamble in the whole world? why do only a few people become bad like that? it indicates that they gamble excessively and are unable to control themselves. they destroy themselves through the gambling they play. a gambler should know his limits and how to control himself.

i don't blame them for the bad luck they experienced, but i'm also a gambler but unlike them i understand what i'm doing. i don't overdo it and know my limits, when to step out and stay on track. i don't intend to teach, but before gambling someone should be able to control themselves so that they don't overdo it and it becomes a disaster for their life.

Exactly, certain criterias are to be considered as for wanting to quit the addiction, not only talking to people or going for therapy but self discipline and determination is what is rightly needed. Even, most people do not accept the fact that they are addicted to gambling and just keep playing till they are rendered broke and unable to care for them selves leading to wrong mental state, we should be able to advise ourselves at the due time before disaster.

Many of us had made mistakes in the past while gambling and all we could do is to result on the causes from gambling, but we do much easily forget about our own mistakes, negligence and how we appear while gambling that makes us have the kind of experience we had, maybe it's now time that we begin to consider ourselves first on how we gamble in relation to the consequences that we received from each every of our steps taken in gambling, there should be more focus on ourselves than the gambling itself because we are the personality that's behind every gambling experience either good or bad.

The gambler will do the mistake all the time by the greedy to the gambling.But the gambler should over comer the greedy for the first and foremost thing to become the successful gambler.The gambler should not forgot their mistake,they need to remember the mistake to not repeat the same mistakes in the next game.The gambler who accept the mistake in the gambling  will be the ready person to learn the gambling and become the successful person in one day.But the person who not accept their mistake in the gambling will not learn the game at any point.Their should be the acceptance of the mistake to shine one day.The control of the emotion in the gambling also the important for the gambler luck.

We cannot blame other people for what we have done in gambling. If we cannot control ourselves in gambling, of course this will have a bad impact on ourselves and it will be even worse if we have become addicted to gambling and disturb the people around us with the gambling activities we do and I often see Some gamblers, as you mentioned, when they don't have money to gamble, they will ask other people for it. This really has a very bad impact on gamblers and the people around them.

That is why we must continue to practice self-discipline, especially in gambling. We will encounter many promotions while gambling. And if we are not careful, we can get too deep into gambling. And that will make us unable to stop gambling easily.

People who are addicted do not realize they are addicted to gambling. They only think about gambling and nothing else. Talking to other people about his gambling activities never even crossed his mind. They feel it is unnecessary because they think they are still fine.

Gambling addicts have felt the effects of gambling. But they don't want to admit it because as long as they gamble, they feel they can take care of themselves. But the effects of gambling can be magnified if they don't want to admit it. And it's only a matter of time.

Even, some moves to the extent of collecting huge loans from financial institutions when it is a 50:50 situation. I imagine how most gamblers hardens themselves into collecting such am, let me believe gamblers are the highest believers they never can tell if it will be a win or loss situation dey end up collecting money from banks which if they should loss the bet they can't gather up to pay back

Of course there is absolutely no reason for anyone to blame others for their gambling, but that would be possible if you got into gambling because of an invitation from someone else, whether it was your friend or anyone else, and if you are purely gambling because of your own desires then there is clearly no reason for you or them to blame others. That's right, self-control is very important when it comes to gambling, not least because it's the only thing that will be able to help you when you're in an impossible condition, and also of course what is worried about is the danger of addiction, that's all. If you can't be strict at all in terms of self-control then yes I'm sure it won't be long before you get into addiction, let alone that sometimes someone who is good enough to apply self-control is not uncommon who ends up entering the addiction zone without realizing it.

Therefore, it is true and I agree that self-control is very important to prevent all things that are definitely not wanted for all gamblers. I am quite concerned when I see those who are very excessive in gambling, they seem to be willing to do anything just to gamble, as you said there is absolutely no hesitation to borrow money from some of their friends, and of course it could be a loss for the friend who lent it because I am not sure they will be able to pay it someday.

Those which have developed the need to gamble, due to their focus they lose perspective of everything, including themselves, so even if everyone can see they have a massive problem they are unable to hold the same view, it is because of this that gamblers should always keep an open mind and reevaluate their behavior if one of the people close to them actually thinks they have a problem, after all they are the ones other than yourself that know you the best, and if they think there is something wrong with you chances are they are right.

Well when it comes to how to do things so that they can Generate better action with respect to the games and their behavior in the casino it can be somewhat counterproductive, because this depends a lot on the personality of each player, we are just people who basically do things In order to keep up with the best, some look for strategies, study, and devise a Way to make a better and more intelligent game to achieve the Expected results , but sometimes it is not so easy, because the best strategies can be achieved but at See, this is not enough, because in games of chance this is not all, but you have to argue that things are broad enough to be able to make known the mostEffective strategy, which there is none, so the people say that when they see that This does not work , they can give them a reaction of despair and lose and lose money, this generally Happens when they do not have a well-established plan so that they do not become Decapitalized.

When we see the people in the casinos we See them very well, with many demonstrations that everything is fine, but sometimes we Don't know what they are doing, what they are thinking, what they are risking, and possibly what they are losing, every little thing. It's a world, so for this not to happen the prsoans has to have a budget plan designed to fail , if they have 100usd to apsotar they should not put more money if they lose it in the game because it is the safest thing to lose, and That will be worse, or Commit money that cannot be spent because it will bring problems, sometimes people get so Desperate that when they play in the casino and lose they do things that are out of the ordinary, like lending money so I can continue playing and try to do so to recover what they have lost, which seems to me to be the greatest of all Mistakes , then some fall into addiction, which is not the right thing to do, because this is what we should avoid.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.

                                                                then you already knew what gambling is all about lol, you will lose more than you can earn ,
for every hundred loses lucky for you if there is a 10 dollar win  well that is according to my own experiences and also best to just enjoy
 the game (but of course hope and pray to win and learn also to stand up when you have enough wins)
and one thing , about thinking gambling as a source of income? to feed you and family? that will be the stupidest thing people can ever think
about. because gambling should be for entertainment and only brings bonus if we win , specially when we hit the jackpot? that would be
 the happiest part to enjoy and also to win.

You noticed that scenario of losing before gaining because you do look up to those that are not lucky because gambling is a lucky game. Someone who is lucky can start gambling today and win big the same day, so if you have luck in gambling, you will love it and also get addicted because if you assess a lucky gambler's profile of winning and losing, you will find out the winning is 75% while the losing will be 25%. Believe me, if you are not lucky in gambling, you will just be losing, but if you are lucky, you will be winning. So what you have noticed is what usually happens to those who are not lucky.

I have a story of a friend of mine who used his tuition fees (school fees) to gamble. From his first risk, he won big and was able to pay the tuition fees, buy other school stuff, and continue to gamble. As I am saying in this story, now he has a car and some houses with gambling money. That is to show you if you are lucky, noting will be hard for you.

And every gambler should do that before they start getting problems from gambling. If they are already experiencing a problem and are aware of it, they must immediately find a solution. By not realizing the real problem and letting it grow, they will only have problems.

Maybe they can evaluate themselves every time they finish gambling. But probably not many people will do it because they think it is a waste of time. They think they can still control themselves while they are gambling, even though they are starting to lose control of themselves.

The effects of gambling can be felt in the short, medium and long term. Only by feeling a change in himself can he be aware of it and deal with it before it becomes bigger. They are the ones who have to look at themselves to find out what is wrong. But they can also ask the people closest to them for help to see what has changed with them. This is to find problems in themselves and start looking for solutions.

It's clearer whether people want to have fun with it or want to become a part of the house's money-making tool. Players easily mistakenly believe that easy ways to use money do not cause much harm, but this is a game related to money, so it is not fun if that amount of money is not within the range that you can comfortably spend and does not harm your life. There are many secrets in the gambling industry that startle me, but the truth is that not all players are good. Some of my friends once whispered to me that if you want to safely launder money, go to the casino (this does not apply to regular players), which shows that there is a lot more working behind what is in front of us.
