Have you ever been a gambling addict?

[Ever-young]

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?

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?

As a gambler there must be a time that one will be an addict, it is when you have lost so much and learnt a hard lesson from your addiction that will make you discipline yourself. What I mean is that there was a time that I was so addicted to gambling because I misunderstood that gambling should be for fun, but I was seeing it as a means to make profit. I lost so big that it affected my financial life. I have to quit gambling for two years before I started gambling again, but this time I only gamble for fun with the little amount that I cam afford to lose.

Truth be told, I don't believe it's only addicts that are prone to losing huge sums in gambling, the fact the gambled wild a few times doesn't really make you an addict. What you should say is, there's always time in a gambler's life that he'll be pushed to gamble wild. Gambling wild a few time is different from addiction. Addiction is when you're already used to wild gambling and you don't think about nothing else other than to gamble. That's addiction.

[Wakate]

That's true because, with self-control, we can avoid excessive losses and also save the money we have. We cannot continue gambling if we have experienced consecutive losses because we risk even greater losses. Most gamblers are not ready for this risk, but they don't seem to care about it and want to recover their losses or chase their winnings. Perhaps many of us have experienced gambling addiction without realizing it, so this is the time for us to correct ourselves and see how far we have come in gambling. If we see that we are returning to gambling more often, we may already have a gambling addiction, and we should try to reduce our gambling activities before we fall deeper into gambling.

Right! people first play or deposit very small amount when they are just starting to gamble thinking that I am not going to lose it all, they think like they already know what gambling is and they are going to lose everything deposited, but our mind just think that in a that way that I will control myself when losing, but in last when we lose consecutively our mind goes blank and we didn't even know consciously that we are betting higher then we can afford to lose in one bet. after losing it all they deposit 2x of the initial amount lost this cycle repeats and the losing amount become so huge. and people become gambling addict because of this.

It is good for us to understand why we are betting so that we can really defined what we are doing. Gambling is a bit more of understand which is the reason why many people gambler not just for the fun but for the profits they're going to make in a long run. Whatsoever we are doing, it is good for us to have understand I'm and bet according to our Capital and what we can afford to earn. Cryptocurrency casino had made it easy for us to bet without dropping out data for the world or the casino to really know who we are and what we are doing.  Once we can define what we are doing, it will help us to stay anonymous and concentrate more on the game we are betting on.

Whatsoever we are doing, it is good for us to have understand I'm and bet according to our Capital and what we can afford to earn.

And most gamblers, follow ego more than understanding why we bet. moreover, who really understands how to determine what we do. However, not all gamblers understand or realize that we can conclude that gambling is more about understanding. As for the other point, that's actually what gambling is like in the modern era like today. This type of entertainment is not just for fun but also can't be denied to get profits that we can win. In the long term, it seems that deeper knowledge, insight and understanding is needed. not just knowing how to gamble, or just analyzing it, especially sports betting.

And overall, I agree with what you said. Simply put, we can choose and sort before carrying out a gambling session.
For me, there are some games that we should separate and differentiate. for slot games, live casino, it's more synonymous with having fun and don't be too focused on getting rewards every session. except, when luck is on our side. if you lose, just end it because the original goal was just to have fun.
in other gambling, especially sports. the importance of understanding as you say. If possible, we need and be aware of knowing when it's time to bet and when it's time to just sit back and observe. that is why understanding is important. But in fact, there are many variables involved in it so that we are more aware of our bets. nothing else, the aim is to maximize and minimize losses. although in reality, the luck factor will always be involved. Armed with the addiction that I experienced before, I have gained a lot of experience and understanding. In the end, I am wiser in every betting session I do. useful, as you say. Apart from getting pleasure, we can also make a profit.

Speaking of obstacles in carrying out gambling activities, of course we often encounter it, where the desire to play gambling continues to increase while finances continue to run low, want to gamble but don't have money, want to gamble but don't have time for it because there are many tasks and jobs that must be completed. These are all obstacles or problems when we want to do gambling. But it all comes back to ourselves personally in managing these obstacles / problems. We will prefer to gamble and leave our obligations and responsibilities, or we will prefer to postpone gambling activities and prioritize what has become our duties and obligations. Someone who is wise enough will definitely prioritize completing their obligations and responsibilities first rather than having to play gambling. But when it comes to someone who is careless, then he will be more concerned with his gambling activities, because when it comes to work later he can also find it again. That's the word of a brave person who expects that he will get rich from his gambling activities.

If you use gambling as entertainment and you also have other activities that you do regularly, you will not think about gambling too often because your focus at that time is on other activities. You can manage everything well because it is not an obstacle or problem for you, especially if you don't gamble too often. But if someone gambles too often and has no other activities, he can think about gambling more often and there will definitely be a desire to return to the casino to gamble. It depends on a person's will to be able to prevent himself from returning to the casino too often and trying to have more activities will help him to think less about gambling. That is why we have to be wise in gambling and don't gamble too often if we don't want to experience the problem of losing money in gambling. Someone who has obligations or other activities must indeed complete everything first and then carry out other activities so that everything can run smoothly.

This makes me remember one of my friends. I also know a guy that is not my friend like that but he said the same thing. They said that they gamble ones with huge amount of money and they regretted that they lost and that has been the last time they gamble. The other guy was my friends neighbor while we were in school. I also have a guy which was my departmental mate, he used his school fee to gamble and he lost it, he was lucky that his father gave him another school fees. He said he will never gamble again. These examples are not gambling addiction, you are right.

Yes, there could be some gamblers who are losing huge amount of money and might not be a gambling addict. However, as a human nature, you wanted to get back with the money that you lost, so you want to play again and again and that could mean that you are turning into addicts.

But I do believed that there are addicts that can turn their life around. Maybe there could be addicts, but sooner or later they could be events in their life that they might realized that gambling is not for them and they are losing every grip of their live. So they could go into rehab, seek medical or professional help, or just shutdown gambling for good.

Chasing losses has always been the problem of many gamblers, and it's likely to lead them  to addiction, but in rare cases though, some just chase until they realize that it's impossible to recover the losses and then they give up and maybe take a break from gambling for a while, while they reflect on their action and the losses they've made. Some people even decide to eventually quite on the process due to the huge amount they've lost trying to gain, they realize at that instant that if the continue with that gambling pattern, they'll only ruin their lives on the process so the best option is to call it a quit.

[Africolo]

Going by the conventional definition of addiction, yes, I have been a gambling addict. Gambling addiction can make a person irrational. My story will portray better my level of addiction in the past. I'm hungry I have money to feed and no money to gamble, I always prefer to starve to gamble. I want to buy something, I have the money to buy it but if I do I will have nothing left with me to gamble, I will use the money to gamble and in the end, lose everything. I'm proud of myself that I was able to overcome my gambling addiction and I hope gambling addicts out there can come out from that ugly scourge.

This is difficult to avoid by every gambler and most likely many gamblers do this especially with gamblers who cannot control themselves. They will chase defeat with no awareness that makes them go deeper in gambling and makes them stuck in the cycle and it is also difficult to get out of the trap that is detrimental to themselves.
By following greed it will not make things better or better, because the greed that is in them can destroy their lives. Sooner or later if they still follow their greed, I think they will feel the impact and that is certain, there are also many things that must be avoided in gambling to avoid addiction to gambling, it's just that many people are not aware of the things that must be avoided in gambling so it is not strange that many people are addicted to gambling.

If they could control their minds to keep betting small amounts and also deposit very small amounts, maybe they could still enjoy their gambling games well and would not lose control of themselves in gambling. They will also not experience a change in their mindset when playing gambling and will always stay within their limits so as not to experience more losses. They will also always limit the deposit amount to the same amount every time they deposit money. They just don't want to lose when gambling because that means they will lose their money while they will also lose control of themselves. They will try their best to keep themselves under control so they don't experience problems losing money in gambling.

Maybe only a small percentage have succeeded in changing their lives and quitting gambling addiction, as we know that gambling addiction is very difficult to cure, even with professional help, you won't be able to stop it completely because it all has to come from your own heart to stop gambling. and cure their own addiction, some of my friends are successful and some are not from their addiction.

Most people quit their gambling addiction because the circumstances really mean they have no other way but to stop, for example they run out of money and go bankrupt, but there are also those who can't stop when they still have other assets, usually they borrow money with collateral to finance their gambling. Until now, not all gamblers have managed to recover, they must realize that when they start to feel addicted, at least reduce their gambling habits so that it doesn't get worse.

Yes, this all depends on who is doing the gambling. Is he someone who is careless or someone who is quite wise.

And when someone experiences a loss while playing gambling, they often think that gambling is wrong and can harm many people. They continued to ridicule gambling and the gambling platforms he visited, while the next day they returned to make deposits to gamble... hahaha Very funny.

And if we think again, it is actually not gambling that is wrong, but we are the ones who are wrong in understanding gambling, because we think that by gambling we can multiply our wealth and make a profit. In fact, if you look at the beginning of the emergence of gambling, which has been around for centuries, from the past until now, gambling has been a means of entertainment to get pleasure, through a sensation and challenge when playing it.

These examples are not gambling addiction, you are right.

When a person used an important money to do a probability, I see it as stupidity and lack of home training or financial training. I see know reason why anyone will use school fees to gamble because you know for sure that it's a 50:50 situation, sometimes it's even 30:70 situation depending on the risk but still people will put important money into it and then later start to regret their actions for doing that in the first place. If I am closed to you and you use school fees for gambling and I found out, I will not give you another one because I have done my responsibility as a guardian and parent, it's yours as a child to be sensible to use it for the right thing.


That's how one of my hostel mate used his industrial training money for gambling and he lost it. Been only the remaining students on campus, we just had to help him with food stuffs but he became the face of the semester for that time and since then, if you mention gambling to him or anything that has to do with sportbet, he will run away and never come back again.

If the gambler had the full confidence in their betting and their tactics,he would risk the money.But the gambler was the full responsibility for the money,because gambling had the two types of results.If the gambler at the hard times,the result in the gambling will be negative one.So the gambler should not involve the important money in the gambling,because it may leads to the gambler as the loan guy.So people will get into the problem by using the school fee to the gambling,if the result is positive you can be happy.But if the gambler loss the funds,it may leads to the fight with their wife.It also leads to the divorce for the gambler,So it was essential one to use the free money in the gambling site.The gambler may not worry if the money used was the free money in gambling.

Everyone who gambles has a likelihood of losing small as well as huge sums of money during their time gambling. It’s not only addicts that has been known to lose huge amounts. And yes, gambling wildly or irresponsibly for a short period of time doesn’t make one an addict as addiction doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes a constant amount of irresponsible gambling for one to develop the habit and slowly build up an addiction.
It takes someone with a strong will to quit such habit.

Everyone must allocate a certain amount for themselves for gambling, but it must be adequate and not make the player very nervous, otherwise it will knock him out and he will start doing all sorts of nonsense, which in the end we all know where it will lead him.

If a player begins to borrow for games, then this is a clear trait of a dependent person who begins to sacrifice relationships with other people. It turns out that the game becomes more important to him than some very important things. At this moment, it is important that one of the friends tried to bring this crazy player to reason. Of course, this may not work, but you should always try.

Going by the conventional definition of addiction, yes, I have been a gambling addict. Gambling addiction can make a person irrational. My story will portray better my level of addiction in the past. I'm hungry I have money to feed and no money to gamble, I always prefer to starve to gamble. I want to buy something, I have the money to buy it but if I do I will have nothing left with me to gamble, I will use the money to gamble and in the end, lose everything. I'm proud of myself that I was able to overcome my gambling addiction and I hope gambling addicts out there can come out from that ugly scourge.

What I often find is that when people talk about success, they are more likely to talk about the hard times, that they went hungry for a while and other hardships. They keep talking about that, while what we need is not your dark story, but what we need is a way and solution to get out of the zone of suffering and achieve success.

Likewise, you only tell us about your hard times and your suffering when you fell into the problem of addiction to gambling. While what we need is not your story of suffering, but a solution and the way you deal with the problem, so that at this time you can escape the addiction to gambling.

People would really be having always that denial on which it is really that common having this way because we cant really just that accept that we are addicted to it until we would be able to find out
that we are already wasting up money or spending up huge in gambling. In terms of addiction to gambling then i havent put up myself on such condition on which i have always that kind of self control when it comes to gambling and also in other means of spending. Budget and moderation would really be that crucial from time to time. Making yourself getting addicted with gambling
will really put you into so much trouble on which it would really be just that common sense that you should be avoid this thing in the first place if you dont like on getting wrecked up.

Everyone loses in gambling both the addicts and those that are in control of their gambling lifestyle, losing too much doesn't make you an addict but chasing those losses constantly can gradually make you an addict. Moreso, constant wild gambling can be a symptom of addictive gambling lifestyle when it turn to be a regular pattern of going wild for you and not until you go wild you don't get satisfactory with your gambling for the day, mate that's addiction taking a center stage.

The ones that cannot control themselves while they gamble should probably stop doing it as the risk they lose way more money than what they can afford is too high, because for those that are impulsive they do not even need to become addicted or chase their losses, just a few minutes in which they lose control of their emotions can be enough for them to accumulate massive losses, and in that case they should just leave gambling behind as it is clear that only bigger losses are awaiting for them.
