Have you ever been a gambling addict?

[bluebit25]

For every new gambler there comes a time when he becomes addicted to gambling. I was first introduced to online gambling when I was in college and since then I gambled little by little to save semester money or pocket money. At one point I felt like I was addicted to gambling because at that time I felt I should be gambling. When I didn't have any money, I used to borrow money from my mother for gambling and so on, but later when I finished college I realized that maybe I was going in the wrong direction, maybe I shouldn't be so addicted to gambling. Since then I tried to recover myself although it took me a long time to recover myself from that place but still I managed to recover myself. Now I gamble but not addicted to the tide but on my own accord. When I want to gamble I gamble, when I don't I don't gamble.

You mentioned the time in college that reminded me of the time when most of my friends participated in online gambling, and we also had groups that were often online to play together, but not to win money but simply entertainment when the games only rank points without depositing money. And at that time, my very close friend was also a gambling addict when he often borrowed money from me, even though we were both students. Perhaps the pitfalls of gambling made many people uncomfortable, including my friend, who had to pay the price, and he dropped out of school when he first started his second year. But actually, I don't feel too sorry for that friend it was only because he had to pay the wrong price. Only then can he be better aware of his own behavior.

Can you finance your studies with gambling money? sounds good guys. I lost more than I won, that's what made it worse. If I get a lot of wins in gambling it might have a good impact and there is no need to stop gambling. May I know what game you play?

Not to encourage that behavior, but I was lucky enough to bet my tuition money on gambling games. But that only happened once when I was in a situation where I didn't have many options to have money to pay for living expenses and couldn't ask for more from my family. Either I would go into more debt, or I would get out of the jam, and that luck happened to me. Ironically, I was quite lucky with offline games, as I had also won before with lottery games, but really, I don't want to become an addict, simply the experience of the people around my family makes me aware of the mistakes and risks that I encounter.

Yes, the most important thing in gambling is self-control. If we can do this then we will not get the negative impact of gambling

He had to win a lot of money to be able to finance his studies because it was not cheap. I also experience more losses than wins from gambling. And if anyone can win a lot of money, it will probably be rare among most gamblers because most of them will experience a lot of losses.

Yes, self-control is the most important thing for all gamblers to avoid gambling addiction problems. Gambling addiction is something that many people have experienced so we should not experience it and with self-control, we can avoid it. If we have recovered from gambling addiction, we must be able to prevent it from coming back to us because we have experienced it before and must try hard to protect ourselves from gambling addiction.

Actually lose more than win is really normal and every gamblers must able to accept that, if not there's no way for them to think gambling has a positive impact. Even you've learn self control, strategy or anything about gambling, you will lose in the long run.

So, can you accept to lose in gambling?

[yazher]

Yes! I have been in that situation but it was a long time ago when I was in high school, I saved all my money just to play when I got home back in the day and sometimes we gambled inside the campus in our own way. It's the people who are with you who will make you do things that you aren't familiar with like gambling. As soon as I realized I was with the wrong people, I left and chose another company to enjoy life and I found the right friends which I still have right now even though we have our own families, we still hang out sometimes and make some resourceful activities that helps us grow.

So, can you accept to lose in gambling?

Yes, I think most gamblers will experience more losses than wins. When I was new to the world of gambling, I couldn't take it so I chased losses and eventually ran out of savings. But now I am ready to lose when I gamble and can start to forget about the money I lost because of gambling

Gambling is sometimes funny too, when we look for wins, we end up losing a lot and when we play relaxed and enjoy it, we can often get big wins. Have you ever felt like that?

[Docnaster]

Yes! I've been a gambling addict but that was a long time ago and I must say it was one of the worst things that's ever happened to me as an individual. But luckily for me I was able to save myself from gambling addiction after I gambled with every remaining money in my possession and had to go hungry for over 24 hours before I was saved by a relative who helped me financially to get food for myself. After that very day, I made the decision to reduce my gambling activities to the barest minimum and gamble responsibly whenever I want to.

Luckily you still have a friend who really understands your situation so you can still be saved, thank God you managed to realize it before it was too late and you became even more addicted, sometimes not everyone can manage to get out and recover from their addiction before they really feel bankrupt. and having debt everywhere, I think it will be a bad experience that you will remember and use as a lesson that gambling is actually just for entertainment.

I have also been in your position and I am sure that almost all experienced gamblers have experienced something called addiction, whether at a low or high level, addiction is something that is scary for gamblers because if you have become an addict it will be difficult to get out of it. To get rid of this addiction, the only way is to stress yourself, namely by reducing it gradually, whatever happens, you have to do it until the feeling of wanting to gamble really decreases.

In my opinion, it is impossible to reduce stress by continuing to gamble, because gambling is like a swing - we lose and then win again. At the same time, the state of the gambler changes from stress, which occurs when we see how our deposit evaporates, to euphoria during the release of dopamine. In my opinion, to get rid of gambling addiction you need to completely withdraw from gambling for a while and replace them with some other activity that can act on the brain in the same way to release dopamine.

You did the right thing by getting away from the "friends" who encouraged you to gamble when you didn't have enough maturity to understand the risks and how the games worked. We have to get close to people who have similar goals and lifestyle compared to us, so we can share the same interests and help each other growing together as individuals inside a healthy social circle of friends who understand each other and will always do their best to put others on the right track aiming a peaceful, solid and rewarding future. Toxic companies must be put aside as soon as you spot they are harmful to your physical and mental integrity.

I've experienced worst incidents in the system, we just have to be cautious and extremely careful when dealing with the system. We're all in the system to generate reasonable amount of profits and then leave, but they doesn't go quite planned as we intend because most of us easily developed desperate mindset to acquire gain, and we allow the system to take control of our minds and abilities, we moved straightforward to the volatility of games. Been a gambling addict means a whole lot of things. An addict tends to lose hugh figures to the system due to gambling without course, not discipline and he also do not anticipate disciplinary measures.

Being so addicted to gambling is a situation that anyone wouldn't want to be involved in, me too I have been an addicted gambler before. Like to be honest it affected both my physical and psychological health.

 I gamble with almost everything I have, I gamble with my laptop, phones, shoes like every damn fucking thing I have until a day I met a friend and told him to borrow me money while I use my certificate as collateral, he was so amazed and was incusitive to know the reason why I wanted to use my certificate as collateral in other to borrow money, so i now told him that there is a sure game I wanted to play. He became so angry and began to remind me of the stress and huddles we passed through during tertiary institution, that I should value my certificate and let nothing should lead me to gamble with my certificate. I started crying and told him how I have been so addicted to gambling to the extent that I sell almost anything at sight just to play gamble. He advised me and gave me some money so after thinking about the things he told me I began to reduce my urge for gambling so on no account should anyone gamble to the extent of being too addicted.

[ndutndut]

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

I never.

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?

Of course there will be losses. But the loss was responsible, meaning I gambled with money that I was ready to lose, and there was a nominal limit every week on how much I had to spend on gambling. It's important for me to make money every week to spend on gambling. If I win I will withdraw, even if I lose I won't stress.

To be honest I have been most successful gambling on cricket and football. I am very fond of sports since childhood and I have watched cricket and club level football matches since childhood due to which I have a good understanding of sports. I bet with a rough idea of which team will play well against which team and which team is stronger at home, which is why I tend to win more on these bets. Gambling I have to play never works like that in my mind when I want to and I bet when I think that I will win if I bet on this match. In football and cricket matches, which opponent is stronger than which opponent and which opponent has the potential to do well in which match, these are some of the things that can be assumed in advance, I bet from that idea.

Your story is very dramatic and moved me, I have also experienced addiction but not like you to such an extent, I feel that my addiction suffering is heavier and there are still far more than me.
But fortunately you have changed and understand what responsible gambling is.

But it is true that when we have an impulsive and compulsive nature it is easy to get carried away which makes us continue to play gambling endlessly, until what we have is all gone and feel desperate for this life, fortunately you have relatives who help you, sometimes there are some people who do not have help will end their lives at that time.

[Hirose UK]

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

I never.

Everyone will never admit that they are addicted to gambling.
When you gamble and finish few sessions, don't you have the desire to play again? because gambling always has an addictive effect on everyone without exception.
Have you ever experienced phase where when you have nothing to do or you think about gambling and start doing several gaming or betting sessions?
Because gambling addiction is not about someone who always gambles, I think you can understand what the true definition of gambling addiction is.

Of course there will be losses. But the loss was responsible, meaning I gambled with money that I was ready to lose, and there was a nominal limit every week on how much I had to spend on gambling. It's important for me to make money every week to spend on gambling. If I win I will withdraw, even if I lose I won't stress.

I applaud those of you who can think about financial limits every time you gamble and you can control yourself to make the right decisions in gambling.

At some time though you will be faced with a decision as it is inevitable that a time will come when you will only lose and lose again,forgetting the wins for good.It is exactly here that even heavily addicted persons are before a choice in their life and they need to act sooner rather than later,personally when I was a heavily addicted gambler in 2019-2020 it was exactly this moment that made me stop and think for the moment,what the heck I am doing losing money in a continuous way and there I decided to set a budget and stick to it,this remains to date the best advice to any addicted gambler as withdrawing completely is super difficult.

Yes, the most important thing in gambling is self-control. If we can do this then we will not get the negative impact of gambling

Addiction to gambling is a real issue that can have a negative impact on our lives but It can be really difficult to admit that we have had a problem with gambling talk more of thinking about how to improve our situation. Even if the amount of money you spent was not huge, it's clear that it had an impact on you emotionally and financially. But when talking about addiction, I think it's in double direction because for some people, it's when they lose a large sum of money and for some, it's when they see the impact that gambling is having on their relationships or their work life. A lot of us focus on the potential rewards of gambling without really considering the risks. It's widely believed that even when people win money from gambling, they often end up losing it all again. In fact, studies have found that the more someone wins, the more likely they are to continue gambling and the more likely they are to lose money in the long run.

The bottom line here is that it's not advisable to rely on gambling to finance anything important as education even if the odds is in your favor. The surprise of gambling always arrives when you least expect it.

[Huppercase]

As long as a beginner gambler is willing to learn what he needs to have when gambling and continues to practice it, he can reduce his risks because without having good self-control and being irresponsible, the beginner gambler will face big risks such as gambling addiction. They should know that gambling addiction has become a serious problem for many gamblers and there are already many gamblers who experience it to the point where they cannot give up gambling easily. Maybe they think that they have tried to control themselves but because they are careless and don't notice any changes in themselves, that makes them irresponsible gamblers. They have lost a lot of money and cannot leave gambling even for a moment, which makes them addicted to gambling and that has become a big problem for them. There must be help from other parties who can help them get out of their gambling addiction and also with the desire to cure their gambling addiction, they can start to cure their gambling addiction.

Having proper guide in anything reduces failure, not only in gambling alone, it's a philosophy of life. The problem is many people that gamble today, majority are money driven, while few of them are gambling because they love to but still, the motivation behind it is money and few have experience in games, sport bettors are fair in losing compare to casino men, even uneducated people win big in sport betting because they can go to a physical shop and select their choice and then bet but in casino, you need to understand how some games works, even I as a gambler don't understand some of the casino games I see on these platforms.

I think gambling platforms in general should have guide and FAQ for players to read up before they even attempt to bet on any game, doing this will save lots of gambler but if you check the casinos today, the faq you will see around is how to deposit and how to withdraw, that's the only thing they know because that's what will improve their profits, more people more profits and less people less profits, betting platforms need to consider somethings.

That's why we need to understand and know more about gambling cause once we have little knowledge in gambling then there's a chance of being addicted we cannot control ourselves. Once we got addicted then there's a bad or negative impact in our daily lives cause if an addict don't have money they he/she will make a way to get money and some of them are stealing other's money in order to sustain thier greed which is very bad in the first place.

Money will be their reason for gambling so they will continue gambling even if it means they have to spend more money. They forget that gambling more often can lead to a potential gambling addiction faster than they imagine, while they don't think about what would happen if they become addicted to gambling. They are not ready to realize that they are starting to become addicted to gambling so when it happens, they cannot even realize it. Indeed, some of them can win big because of their luck, but other people will not be able to get it because that is the difference between lucky people and unlucky people. It is difficult to understand gambling games because we can only play them. After all, gambling is entertainment.

Gambling platforms already have FAQs or regulations that players can read, but the problem is that those who are too lazy to read them and understand them will end up experiencing problems. They may focus their reading on one or a few things but apart from that, there is still more they need to understand so they won't get into trouble. This is why, before we register at a casino, we have to make sure that we completely understand the rules so that we don't break any rules that could get us into trouble.
