Have you ever been a gambling addict?

[AprilioMP]

Spending all your savings on gambling doesn’t mean you are addicted to gambling. We classify someone as an addicted gambler when he can’t do without placing a bet every day. This kind of person must gamble even if they don’t have money. They will go and take a loan just to gamblers because that is where they derive their pleasure from. So you spend your savings on gambling, maybe not in one week, a day, or even a month, and since you realise that what you did was a mistake, you can see that you yourself know that you are not addicted. Someone who has already been addicted won't think of that; he always thinks that he is doing well since that is what he does to make him happy.

When savings are up for gambling, then what will be born by the mind when you are alone. Never mind, it is a bad sign and the person who has spent all the savings for gambling is called the initial door of addiction. What you mean is not like a addict to nicotine but gambling addiction can exceed addiction to nicotine.
Very few people will adjust that it is not the behavior of addicts.

Savings are up, the only way is to search to return to save. For those who are able to hold back and not regret his actions, then I admit that person is not a gambling addict.

That will happen if you know how to control yourself because addictions just happen if we let our emotions/feelings control us.
I was thankful that I'd never been into that situation but honestly, it was very close during my early days in gambling where I was about to chase my losses. I'd realize the impact of such thinking because I found out that the more I gamble, double or triple my bets, I'd never have the chance to get lucky but instead, I lose more.

Good thing that some of my friends give some advice otherwise, it is a huge possibility that I fall into addiction.

Yes, that's right, the beginning of gambling was the phase where I made that mistake. I didn't know how gambling worked so I tried to keep chasing my losses until finally all my savings were gone. At that time I was curious about Maxwin from slot machines, but I thought there was no point in chasing Maxwin, it's better to just enjoy the game with small capital, because when we spend a lot of money to gamble we won't find pleasure when gambling, there are only emotions and stress . It's bad for mental health

It is very wonderful that your friends keep you from this dangerous edge. But many friends, on the contrary, are, so to speak, “dangerous advertisements” for gambling. I'm, of course, talking about those guys who always brag about how much they earned from betting and how easy it was for them. For example, a friend of mine constantly brags about how much money he made from Dota 2 International. After such stories, any person will think - couldn’t I earn more than him? But the fact is that for some reason such friends “betting experts” never want to tell how much they played on their predictions.

When we are still on noob phase or something that do talks about first time, then those kind of intents and mindset would really be normal on which our approach would really be mainly be focusing on
making easy money with gambling yet this would really be the main thing that you do have in mind on the time that you have seen about gambling. Yes, money making is easy but on the other hand
you arent really that aware on how risky it is and this is where mistakes do really start. On the time that you would really be experiencing unfortunate events then this is the time you would be making
those realizations on which it is really just that normal to make out some adjustments.

Most of us would really be that wary and able to learn but there are some who would really be sticking into their initial plans despite on hearing or experiencing those things along the way.
There are really just indeed those type of people who do really keep pushing their luck or trying out to do the things that they do have in mind despite of the risks involved.
They would really be only trying to lay low on the time that they experiencing hardship.

Don't gamble when you are not in good condition, obviously it will be very bad. You can't control a lot of things when you're angry and you'll also have a hard time deciding things well when your mind is in a mess, so it will only lead to losing more quickly than winning something worthy. Gambling is about fun rather than just winning, in fact you should feel okay if you end up losing.

Addiction can happen to anyone regardless of whether they gamble for fun or want to win money. To be honest, there are many addicts who do not admit that they are addicted, but as long as they can still gamble responsibly then they will not have any negative effects from their addiction.

The truth is that you can not be perfect in anything right from the very beginning; you must commit to learning on the process. Most of the things we attribute to gambling addiction are natural processes almost every gambler passes through in other to be matured and be called experienced. Even though it is seen as addiction, I feel it is not entirely right to address it by that name, rather a more decent name would have sufficed. Well, nomenclature is not the focus of the discussion rather characters that define a good gambler.

Personally, I have done most of the things being regarded as gambling addiction, things like playing without planning, chasing losses, playing and loosing it all after a major win including playing with funds not mine. I must admit that those characters are not things I'm proud of but they actually shape my disposition to gambling and made me better at it. In all, gambling addiction is something everyone should strive to overcome.

Panic is one of the causes of big gambling losses.  When someone loses 30-40% of his budget in gambling he panics and later bets a higher amount to recover that loss.  And if he ever loses, he loses almost all of his crap.  And he becomes addicted and deposits more and thus a gambler becomes more attracted to gambling and panics and continues gambling.  So certainly one should not gamble when one is not well.  And one should not panic while gambling.  And always try to keep yourself under control

Being a beginner gambler is risky, it is better not to even make an attempt to be a gambler than becoming a beginner gambler, why? Because at that stage, the gambler might only be chasing loses and nothing more and it will also make him/her lose more in gambling, just like how it happens to you at your early age in gambling, it have happened to others and it's not the first or the last.
For some gamblers to enjoy only the fun in gambling will be a bit difficult for them because some of them thinks that losing money in gambling is meaningless to them, so they prefer to chase winnings and nothing else.

Yes, that's right, panic leads to their minds not being alert and clear, and they keep wanting to add more money to get back their lost assets. Gambling when your mind is not sound will lead to gambling out of control.
Even people who win easily are too subjective when betting more than they have. With greed, they will make a lot of money. They will also have the same outcome as those who panic when they lose. Therefore, self-control in gambling is always a top priority whether you win or lose.

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.

I did in the past and I got over it. It's just mind over matter. I found myself spending way too much money in gambling that I got stressed out in the process. It's not the same feeling as the first time you gambled where there is so much fun playing different games and you get excited just thinking about playing them again the next day.
It became a bad routine that is not easy to let go. Chasing my money back is what urged me to do it continuously and it made things worst.

Its a learning curve to enter the ring thinking you'll outsmart the system but finding it much more crazy. Most of the time, people wake up after losing money, when the veil of "easy money" lifts and the harsh light of danger shines through. Gambling is fascinating because people keep taking risks despite bad results. Some people adjust their strategy after setbacks, while others keep going. The world of gambling is very ironically funny because people are torn between being careful and being brave. Many struggle to decide when to push or fold. Its about managing financial and mental health. Knowing when hope becomes delusion is crucial.

Gambling is such an addiction that if played constantly for fun it becomes an addiction at some point. Then you forget everything and are busy gambling so you have to play with control level from the beginning. Limits are also good as a means of self-control it would be great if you set a monthly time and money limit for gambling don't try to recover wins or losses. Playing in a bad mood or playing drunk can lead to poor play decisions and therefore loss of money don't do this.

[el kaka22]

I wouldn't say "addict" because it didn't take that long, in order for me to consider someone an addict I need to see that person gambling for a very long period of time without being able to stop, so I wasn't an addict because it didn't take that long.

However, I did acted like an addict and couldn't stop for a short period of time, it was like just 3 months of my life, and I did lost some money there too, wish I didn't had that period but at least it was a smaller amount compared to past and it wasn't something that changed my life, and I was capable of stopping quite easily at the end, took me only 3 months to have something like that and I would say when you gamble for 3 months, unless you bet your house and lose, that doesn't feel like a big deal at all. I think it's clear that we are not going to end up with a huge loss that quickly neither. I learned my lesson from those days and I have not done the same thing ever again, which was really helpful.

[348Judah]

I think it's very possible that someone is gambling addicted and yet not knowing about what they are into, since they can only see the way they behave as being normal in their own sight despite others are seing it as an addiction, in this kind of manners, we are expected to to listen to people's advise and opinions suggested to us from the way we gamble, because we might be doing something wrong and it's appearing as right in our own eyes, we can choose to listen to advise and take heed to being corrected.

Yes I agree with that, even though with the aim of just having fun but if you play it often or even every day it will make us addicted later. Because when gambling we will forget everything and I have even experienced it, my friend who is gambling does not care about the things or people around him, he only focuses on his gambling even though I have called him repeatedly but he is still focused on his gambling. I myself think to gamble in a place that is comfortable and not gambling in public places such as parks which of course there are often many people there. Because if people see one person gambling in the park they will think what is wrong, why is that? because people think differently. So no one knows what other people think.

With self-control it can make them determine when to play and where is a comfortable place to gamble, because in my opinion gambling will be comfortable if it is done at the right time and place that also makes us comfortable to enjoy the game.

I agree with you that most people do not understand that their gambling hobby is beginning to cross the boundaries of reason. At the same time, they can be understood that gambling affects them so much, let's look at teenagers as an example. Where do they get the money from? They don't have salaries, scholarships. And gambling gives such an excellent opportunity to earn, while no technical or legal knowledge is needed, you just need to guess!

That is, this earnings is also fun! That's why I think it's necessary to keep an eye on and monitor teenagers, and for formed personalities. After all, gambling is fun, but the line from fun to addiction is very hard to feel.

But in fact, to see if someone is addicted or not, it's very easy to see, just give him advice, but if he doesn't hear it, it means he's a gambling addict, because gambling addicts don't really want to listen to advice from experienced gamblers before they go bankrupt and look for what's wrong with them, that's what why do they behave more indifferently and are not very happy with anyone around them?

I once felt like that, how I felt at the beginning of my addiction symptoms where I didn't want to listen to other people's advice and continued to gamble, but after I experienced a losing streak and lost money, I started to realize that there was something wrong with my behavior, since then I started listen to advice and control myself better by gambling on weekends. I no longer gamble every day which will only make me behave badly., 

[Litzki1990]

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.
