Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction

Buddy system.

I say it in this forum every few times. It's the only thing that works for me, it was due to forex I had this system and it transferred over to gambling.

Have one guy know everything. Your bets your expenses. And ask him to confirm your biggest riskiest bets. It has to be a gambler too, but not someone to close. Just we are buddies over 15 years now, I warn him when he is taking too big risk he does same for me.

Take a break, buddy. It's the most welcome phrase to hear.

Yeah, that's a great way of making sure things are somewhat stable.

But not everyone has a buddy like that though, unfortunately.

I think in those cases the best thing to do is to just go for a walk in nature, disconnect from the grid.

The break here that I catch is to stop playing gambling for a while. not always in front of the computer or in the casino continuously. indeed, rest is very important because in addition to maintaining brain health so as not to always think about gambling, it also maintains mental health.
take a break, for example, 1 day not playing gambling, or if you can't rest for a few hours before returning to the gambling arena. even better as @nullama

just go for a walk in nature, disconnect from the grid.

[Julien_Olynpic]

A break certainly matters. This is indeed a good recommendation, but it is only one element of successful therapy. And this assumes that you have already decided to stop gambling. But what if you are driven to therapy by failures and losses, but in your heart you still don’t want to stop playing? Then most likely no break will help you. A person must honestly ask himself whether he wants to stop playing? If the answer is no, then the therapy will be only partially effective.
To be fully effective, a person will need to understand himself.

what happens a lot like this, they tend not to care about their basic needs because they still believe that what they are doing can produce big profits, but who knows when that will happen even if there is a victory, it does not guarantee the victory they will get. it's very big They can gamble within predetermined limits, especially from a financial perspective of course they don't have to gamble by spending a lot of money in just one game session. They can do this within the limits set and if they have finished one game session they have to stop and come back another day maybe luck will be on their side and give them a win, that might happen.

But I think the limit will be there if they have self-control, because everything they have to have to avoid losses in gambling in my opinion is in self-control so the most important thing is self-control, if they don't have good self-control then they won't be able to have a sense of responsibility in gambling, limits in gambling and so on. but I believe they can have self-control to reduce the risk of losses and the bad effects of gambling  as long as they realize first that excessive gambling can cause big problems.

Even though meeting basic needs is the most basic thing in our lives, rather than just playing gambling, which should only be entertainment for us. But those who still do it will not realize this and will continue even though there is no guarantee of winning. They will see it sooner or later and if they remain unaware of this, they will only get deeper into gambling without being able to leave gambling easily. When playing gambling, there should be no need to use a lot of money, especially if they still have to allocate the money they earn for their daily needs. And if they can allocate their income to their daily needs and gambling, they shouldn't experience any problems as long as they have good self-control.

If they have self-control, they will have limits in gambling so that they can reduce or prevent big losses. They should also be able to learn more about self-control so that they can take care of themselves while they are gambling and can also be responsible with themselves and their money so that they don't experience too many losses. Many gamblers have experienced this, but we shouldn't experience it because we have learned from other people's experiences. These will be ways to overcome large losses and can be a solution for those who still have difficulty limiting their gambling activities.

With gambling, perhaps it can be done for entertainment,  but unfortunately, by doing this one thing, many of them make gambling one of the quick ways to make money. where by aiming like this it actually makes them spend a lot of money on gambling. the problem may be in good self-control, it is true what you said if they have good self-control maybe there will be no serious problems.

In my opinion, everything that is positively related to gambling is in self-control, because with good self-control, it seems like there are many things you can own and set, such as budget limits gambling time limits,  as well as greed and emotions that can be controlled. , if they don't have good self-control then all these things can happen and they will experience destruction in their lives.

But not everyone has a buddy like that though, unfortunately.

FIND one! I said in my post it shouldn't be someone close. This forum has 100s of gamblers, supposedly. You claim you're one, go make a buddy if addiction is so important or if you want to help offer yourself...

The break here that I catch is to stop playing gambling for a while. not always in front of the computer or in the casino continuously. indeed, rest is very important because in addition to maintaining brain health so as not to always think about gambling, it also maintains mental health.

But you guys lost the whole point of this thread. If you're addicted, you can't stop yourself. You can't rely or even trust yourself.

Breaks are good, they work. But an addict can't push himself to stop and take a break.

Hence my solution of a buddy system.

All about moderation. My motto is "If you're going to play, play smart." That need constraints. A cheat meal in a diet is fine, but dont let it control your life.

Speaking of self-control. Like a muscle, it gets stronger with use. Gamblers should work this muscle. Stick to a budget and remember its for enjoyment, not money. Those that gamble as a hobby enjoy it most, in my experience. They know when to hold and fold.

And then, esponsibility. This is about managing money and expectations. Gambling should flavor life, not define it. My mantra? Gamble for fun, not escape issues. What's entertainment without fun?

People often think about their minds as something intangible and mysterious, however their mind works under the same principles than anything else, so if a person wanted to get physically stronger we will recommend to them to go to the gym and exercise, and the same can be done about any aspect of our minds as well.

So someone that wanted to improve their self-control can train it using similar principles than what you could use by training your body, it is just that training your mind can be way more challenging than training your muscles and people simply do not want to do it despite their claims.

[JahriMeayer]

I've tried my best to be the very best version of myself, there's certainly no time to hold back but exerting the same energy level received by people. We can make profits and losses from the system, it just depend on what we do and how we're able to stretch our mappings and strategies

As i told before, self-exclusion is best way to get out of anything if one seriously give his best effort for that. There are many ways to making money and it depends on people what source they are choosing for what perpose. I mean its okey to gambling for fun but not primary source of income. Nothing wrong with gambling untill a person get addicted and keep losing his all in it. That's why need to take step. If he fails to do avoid it ownself then he may ask help for such organizations what op mentioned in his statements but the process will take time to complete. Addiction is kind of thing where anyone can't get out of it shortly

Yes, it's great if we can convince the player to play smart. I think no one is against this. It’s just that many addicts don’t know how to play, what smart strategy to use. They use very simple strategies and believe that they are intellectuals who have learned the secrets of the universe. I would recommend learning and mastering something new. Or even play other games. This is both distracting and allows you to take a fresh look at your strategies. In addition, it prevents tilt.

I think there are quite a few really skilled gamblers that are also addicted.

The thing is that it is independent of your level of skill, but of course there are more unskilled gamblers so you see more addicted ones in total.

You always need to keep things in check unless you want things to spin out of control at some point.

Gambling is indeed entertainment, but this form of entertainment requires money. Apart from that, there are negative impacts that a person will receive after he gambles more often. He can become addicted to gambling if he gambles too often without responsibility and self-control so that it is no longer entertainment but has become an addiction that wants always to gamble to get pleasure. That is why when playing gambling, we must always have self-control and responsibility so that we can prevent problems from arising. Maybe to balance gambling as entertainment, we can do other activities that are also included in entertainment so that we will see that we have more activities that can provide entertainment for us.

If a person can have good self-control, he will not experience problems while gambling and he can enjoy his free time gambling. He will always remember that gambling is entertainment that does not need to be used all the time and also does not need to use more money every time they gamble. There must be clear boundaries to avoid these problems and not lose money. If they can do this, they can finally use gambling as a form of entertainment that can fill their free time.

Yes, everything is about restrictions and moderation in gambling. If someone can do this, he will be calm when gambling and not worry about getting into trouble because he can always look after himself while gambling. We should not let gambling take part in our lives because basically, gambling is a form of entertainment that we can choose to use or not to use.

Continuing to practice self-control will make a person better at protecting himself so that he doesn't get into trouble from gambling. Always having self-control can protect them from going beyond their limits so that they will use gambling as entertainment and not to make money.

Gambling for fun and not to make money. That's what we have to hold on to while we gamble so we don't try to use it excessively. We will also look for other activities that can provide entertainment for us so that we are not dependent on gambling to get entertainment.

What do you mean by being skilled is being able to have control and not be affected by the addictive effects of gambling?
It is true that in the gambling industry there are those who are addicted and there are those who are not.
But I am very sure that out there the percentage of gamblers who are addicted is much greater than that of gamblers who do not have an addiction problem.
After all, it all depends on their approach and goals in gambling, gambler who really has a lot of experience and can make gambling just for entertainment or fun can never be considered an addict.
Gamblers who just come to have fun of course know how much money they can use and how long they have to stay on gambling site, this is very different from an addict who is more dominant in actually prioritizing gambling over other activities.
Most gambling addictions start with the desire to make money and win, after this goal is achieved they will be even crazier, chasing the jackpot to change their life.
After all, gambling addict will always come and bet anytime and anywhere, even worse, they will use various methods to earn money to extend their betting sessions.

From the first moment we get to know or enter gambling site, we should be able to have the right approach and various management methods so that addiction can be minimized.
I know that no one can really avoid addiction, but at least by having an attitude like that and starting to learn how to control excessive desires in gambling, will be able to reduce the intensity of gambling.
Healing is much more difficult which is why there must always be prevention at the start.

I agree with you, they should gamble smartly, because I think many gamblers who experience big losses don't gamble smartly, and also because the wins are rare it requires us to be smart, for example when we win we have to be direct. cash it in and that includes gambling intelligently, because you know that winnings are rarely possible, so you decide to do what you should, because many people have won but don't immediately cash it out, because they think they can still get a bigger win.

and I think that gambling that is done must be enjoyed, with the sensation that exists we must be able to enjoy it so that nothing happens that triggers a gambling addiction, so if you have lost then it is time to stop, not by taking steps to continue gambling. and also they should be able to manage their finances well, such as determining a fixed budget for gambling, where they have a fixed amount to spend on gambling, and this includes gambling responsibly, many of those who gamble irresponsibly end up with great losses, and this can be used as a lesson for ourselves, because there is no harm in seeing from other people the bad experiences that have happened so that we can avoid them from happening to ourselves.

Indeed, everyone should think about their basic needs first and then think about other things they need, such as mere entertainment. With gambling, perhaps it can be done for entertainment,  but unfortunately, by doing this one thing, many of them make gambling one of the quick ways to make money. where by aiming like this it actually makes them spend a lot of money on gambling. the problem may be in good self-control, it is true what you said if they have good self-control maybe there will be no serious problems.

That's true, it's not even just gambling in my opinion, there are many of the same things including entertainment but you have to need money to be able to enjoy it or do it, including traveling to places,  such as zoos and other recreational places. However with gambling, it is the same as paid entertainment, this entertainment has a negative impact as you said but the negative impact depends on how we respond to it, if it is just entertainment in the sense that the money used is clear. will be lost then we must be able to accept it without thinking that the money that has been lost must be returned. Therefore we should have good thoughts about gambling, not expect more from gambling because it will kill us in the future.

I agree with you  if they have good self-control maybe they won't have a problem with the gambling. they do also with the self-control we have  of course we will have limits in gambling, including a set budget limit, and a time limit for gambling too,  because if one of these is not owned small problems may occur but have the potential to become big and trigger the occurrence of gambling addiction. So I think they can gamble with a set budget and it's definitely not too big. then this won't be a serious problem.

Many forms of entertainment require money, such as gambling, but entertainment from gambling can have a bigger impact than other forms of entertainment. Gambling can make someone addicted to gambling, especially if they do not have discipline and responsibility in gambling. The more often they gamble, the more money they will lose at the gambling table, so they must be able to control themselves when gambling to control the use of their money. Those of us who already know about this must also be able to use gambling as entertainment so that we will not gamble excessively because there are risks and consequences. Many people cannot bear the risk so they lose a lot of money.

By having self-control, they can prevent many losses and will not experience gambling addiction problems. They can take good care of themselves while gambling and after they have finished gambling, they will not have the thought of immediately returning to gambling because they need to rest first. They know that without good self-control, they will only lose a lot of money and will not be able to win much if they are unlucky. When playing gambling, they can control the use of their money so they won't spend a lot of money just to gamble.

That's what I mean, this entertainment has a bad impact if we play it continuously, but it's different from other things which may not have a bad impact like this type of gambling. I agree with you, the more often you gamble, the more money you will make. lost, and if someone gambles frequently in my opinion that is enough to indicate that they don't have self-control and discipline, so it's natural that they lose a lot of money by gambling because even with self-control they can't have it or can't manage it well.

That's right, if they have self-control maybe this won't happen, including gambling addiction most importantly. They should be able to manage their finances well, not just by spending a lot of money on gambling, because there are many other things that are more important and more useful for them. Even if they have a lot of money, in my opinion it is not recommended that they spend it gambling, it is better to set a small budget, so that when they gamble and lose they have to stop and go, and can continue again another day, maybe another day. luck will be on their side so that they can win at gambling, because they don't have to spend a lot of money to win, if they are lucky, even using a small amount of money, that can happen.

A break certainly matters. This is indeed a good recommendation, but it is only one element of successful therapy. And this assumes that you have already decided to stop gambling. But what if you are driven to therapy by failures and losses, but in your heart you still don’t want to stop playing? Then most likely no break will help you. A person must honestly ask himself whether he wants to stop playing? If the answer is no, then the therapy will be only partially effective.
To be fully effective, a person will need to understand himself.

Yeah, it is usually a good idea to stop doing some negative behaviors for a bit and see how it goes.

Some people are able to change their whole life like this.

It is easier said than done, but if it could be avoided from the beginning, it would be better. However, the issue is that it is not easy entirely for some people and it is partly because of their ugly mindset about gambling. They believe that it is a means by which they will be the next Bill Gates but it is not as easy as that. Even those who made it big in gambling consider themselves lucky at that time, and no matter how much they tried next time, it might take them several months if not years to replicate the success, that is if they will ever have the opportunity of winning so big again. This means that gambling is risky and not reliable, so why are we so fixed on the thought that will not get us any success? Your advice is so good regardless, but I hope the person has not been eaten deeply by it before such advice is introduced, if such has been eaten deeply by it, then it will just be mere ear say as the gambler will continue the activity in his idiocy.

At this time too, it might be externally helpful to consult a therapist, psychiatrist or psychologist who will deliver the person since the belief that being rich in gambling would have caused more damage to the extent that the person must have crossed the red line unnoticed. To get out of this is now the issue, and it tarries in years in some cases, while some will never be delivered if care is not taken. But if such were aware of the danger from the beginning, they would have preserved their minds and this would have given them the needed willpower to say No. Even without any external help, they can control themselves and do the needful.

That's true, it's not even just gambling in my opinion, there are many of the same things including entertainment but you have to need money to be able to enjoy it or do it, including traveling to places,  such as zoos and other recreational places. However with gambling, it is the same as paid entertainment, this entertainment has a negative impact as you said but the negative impact depends on how we respond to it, if it is just entertainment in the sense that the money used is clear. will be lost then we must be able to accept it without thinking that the money that has been lost must be returned. Therefore we should have good thoughts about gambling, not expect more from gambling because it will kill us in the future.

I agree with you  if they have good self-control maybe they won't have a problem with the gambling. they do also with the self-control we have  of course we will have limits in gambling, including a set budget limit, and a time limit for gambling too,  because if one of these is not owned small problems may occur but have the potential to become big and trigger the occurrence of gambling addiction. So I think they can gamble with a set budget and it's definitely not too big. then this won't be a serious problem.

Many forms of entertainment require money, such as gambling, but entertainment from gambling can have a bigger impact than other forms of entertainment. Gambling can make someone addicted to gambling, especially if they do not have discipline and responsibility in gambling. The more often they gamble, the more money they will lose at the gambling table, so they must be able to control themselves when gambling to control the use of their money. Those of us who already know about this must also be able to use gambling as entertainment so that we will not gamble excessively because there are risks and consequences. Many people cannot bear the risk so they lose a lot of money.

By having self-control, they can prevent many losses and will not experience gambling addiction problems. They can take good care of themselves while gambling and after they have finished gambling, they will not have the thought of immediately returning to gambling because they need to rest first. They know that without good self-control, they will only lose a lot of money and will not be able to win much if they are unlucky. When playing gambling, they can control the use of their money so they won't spend a lot of money just to gamble.

Friends of my gamble with a budget and mindset. They seem to enjoy it without the risks. Its like an internal check-and-balance. They play and delight, yet they know when to stop. Really, its impressive. It highlights self-awareness, a necessary. Knowing one's limits is vital. However, I realize not everyone has this control. That's when you bring up risks and repercussions. Awareness of these risks and its dissemination are crucial. Gambling should be done with full awareness of its risks. I always encourage educated decision-making.

I applaud what your friend can do, because it's rare for people who gamble to do something like that. because it is true that gambling should be done only for the purpose of having fun, I also sometimes still find it difficult to implement that, where I sometimes still lose control when gambling, but what I apply is considering my finances and my needs, so with that I can limit the gambling that I do.
 
It's true that you say that having limits in gambling is important, because then we can stop gambling when we reach the final point of gambling, whether it's winning or losing, which is clear in both cases it is also closely tied to gambling limits. and indeed not everyone has and masters this, only people who really have self-awareness can do this.

That's what I mean, this entertainment has a bad impact if we play it continuously, but it's different from other things which may not have a bad impact like this type of gambling. I agree with you, the more often you gamble, the more money you will make. lost, and if someone gambles frequently in my opinion that is enough to indicate that they don't have self-control and discipline, so it's natural that they lose a lot of money by gambling because even with self-control they can't have it or can't manage it well.

That's right, if they have self-control maybe this won't happen, including gambling addiction most importantly. They should be able to manage their finances well, not just by spending a lot of money on gambling, because there are many other things that are more important and more useful for them. Even if they have a lot of money, in my opinion it is not recommended that they spend it gambling, it is better to set a small budget, so that when they gamble and lose they have to stop and go, and can continue again another day, maybe another day. luck will be on their side so that they can win at gambling, because they don't have to spend a lot of money to win, if they are lucky, even using a small amount of money, that can happen.

Those who gamble frequently should be able to see the bad impacts they have experienced from gambling so that they can prevent these bad impacts from becoming bigger. If they don't pay attention to this and instead continue gambling until they end up losing a lot of money, it means they don't care about themselves anymore because it makes it difficult for them to control themselves. That is why self-control is very important for every gambler to learn and have so that they will not lose a lot of money from gambling.

With this self-control, they can also avoid the gambling addiction that many other gamblers have experienced. That is why they need to have allocated funds to play gambling and must apply strict rules when playing gambling so that they don't experience a lot of losses, which can cost them a lot of money. It is better for them to save their money for other things and only use enough money for gambling. This is to prevent the large losses they can experience from gambling. Maybe luck can be on their side, but luck will not always come when they gamble, so they should be able to pay attention to this and really control the use of money for gambling.

That's good because they know when they are gambling and when they should stop gambling so they can have fun gambling and can also control themselves in using their money. That's what every gambler should do so that they don't experience many losses and can still enjoy gambling as entertainment. Yes, that is a very important self-limitation so that we are aware of the risks involved in gambling. We also need to do the same thing as your friend did to prevent the risk from becoming big and not cause difficulties for us. And we can do responsible gambling well so that we can use gambling properly and not gamble excessively.
