A hero or a fool?

[South Park]

I was reading some comments on line today and a story caught my attention, and I want to know how possible this is.

A guy claimed he won $5000 on a poker machine and that's where his addiction began, and when it get to the point that he lost his rent money to gambling he decide to take matters in his one way.

He proceeded by going to gaming commission and had his name banned by himself, ( Someone please tell me how this is possible?) never seen such in my country before. he claimed he still go back to casinos at times and he knew he can't ever win big again, because his name was flagged in the system, and if he win big they won't pay him.

He said he was limited to winning $200, that anymore than this he would have to sign his name and be subject to prosecution for trespassing. He claimed his move took his joy out from gambling real fast, and now he haven't been near a casino in over 10 years.

What do you think? This is an insanely move on oneself to stop addiction, something done right? Would you do the same if such is possible in your country?

What he did was okay, he already knew where his gambling addiction was going, so while he was still thinking, he acted immediately to help himself immediately, and what became his sign was that he spent the rest of his rent. That was a good idea, what he did was good. He knows he can't win the poker machine no matter how much skill he has. He is a hero.

What he did was only possible because he still had some control over his actions and he was committed to leave their gambling addiction behind, however this is not very easy to do, as even if you can get yourself banned from the casinos around you in this way, there are thousands of online casinos these days all competing among each other to try to get you to gamble with them, and it will be impossible to self-exclude yourself from all of those casinos in this way even if you wanted to.

You wont really be doing such act if you werent that serious on quitting gambling addiction. Those moves or decisions that he had made might really be that too extreme but for the sake on quitting gambling
then he could actually say that it is really that effective. Why? you wont really be able to play up again and imagine that 10 years since your last play on which it do really proves out that he had been able to quit
up gambling for good. Those steps might be that extreme or really  that off the charts on which we cant really expect for some individual to reach out that kind of steps for him to avoid or completely
quit up gambling. If those things were possible and applicable then it wont really be that bad for those gambling addicts out there to do the same thing.

Just like i have said earlier that it might that too far extent for such action to be made but we do know that someone do able to successfuly quit up gambling with these kind of steps.
It isnt really something to be bad though. It is really just that unusual way or method on quitting gambling on which doing such actions arent something that you could
be able to encounter on day to day basis.

What I can think is that when a person does something like that, it is because he really went through something similar or that he was really very addicted and his experience must have been very strong, and for that reason he doesn't want it. things become reptiful or he falls into temptation again, perhaps his experience was so extreme, and even somewhat challenging in how traumatic that he preferred to do it that way, that is why when we are in a casino we must consider everything necessary to not fall again into the traps that harm us, and this means that if we try to see if someone has already been a follower, why should they be again? If he already curom, it is a way of protecting himself like this, it is something that he used for his own protection and it is something that should rather be admired, perhaps he is a hero of himself, more conscientious than sometimes the But since they are addicts they can end up committing suicide, in this order of ideas we can always make a difference.

For this reason we must always do our best to do things for our own good, even though winning an amount is enough to start with a bad streak and lose our temper, this is something that can happen, of course we must always maintain the autoncotnorl, but if there is some vulnerability in ourselves, then that attitude he did is not bad, and although it was an extreme measure, it was necessary and what he considered, not bad at all, I like people who are like that Protect yourself, this is worth doing and loving yourself much more.

Now every person who is afraid and cannot control it is always good that they can exercise some solutions so that they do not fall into addiction, sometimes it is good to prohibit themselves so that things like this do not happen, in this order of ideas we go to make a difference, everything that helps prevent addiction is welcome.

We're adults with decision-making power. People can avoid casinos following addiction if they want. They've weathered the storm and know what to do. Who are we to judge or minimize their experience? This is an intentional choice to safeguard their mental and emotional health, not only avoid relapse. Their life, their rules. Story over.

Online gambling shouldn't be demonized. Like other games, it's designed to be fun. Life is full of threats! Are you saying you never risk? Knowing your limits and self-control are crucial. Gambling should be relaxing, not stressful. Why not gamble if you have self-control? Not reckless abandonment, but embracing life, taking a chance, and possibly winning big. Play the odds, but remember, you're in control.

We are people who are always looking for everything we can do in a casino is make money, yes, it is something very normal, 'it could be said that these things are always good when they are taken in the most relaxed way possible every person I have thought of when they fall into addiction and because they don't know themselves, because really when things are bad enough, people should have a small alarm in their hearts and say that they have to stop, because things have to be controlled, that they have to stop taking a very dispersed or crooked course, you have to control it because this is the basis for everything, so clearly yes, a person has gone through a moment of distortion in their life such as gambling addiction and wants to get out of it , then an opportunity arises to play again, but it goes well, then you feel that you have to continue playing, then you become alarmed and take preventive measures to not continue falling into temptations, because it is excellent.

We, as coherent people and active players, see every time people who are very committed to the things they have to do, such as looking for a way to be with options to earn more money, and this sometimes makes greed itself lead to a direct path to addiction, and that in particular is something that we must always take into consideration that we can face, in the case of OP when he talks about that person who submitted or had more fun at the expense of having to protect himself, that is something of heroes, not any sane person does that, because it is a measure of saying no to something that we really like, but our own mental health and integrity are more important , so this is how they should take it People who are suffering from addiction right now, saying that they are more valuable than a game, that their life is worth much more, is simply a Fact.

[Betwrong]

he did the best for himself, how hard it was for him to let go of his gambling addiction, I was very enthusiastic about his actions because only a few people were truly aware that they were addicted to gambling, this should be an example for friends who have exceeded the limit of spending money on gambling

Yes, it's hard to get rid of any addiction, and gambling addiction isn't an exception. Some people on this forum say it's the hardest. So, the guy should serve as an example for us, for many of us here, I mean the banning himself from gambling part. He could be thinking, I won  $5,000 on a poker machine once, I can win again! But no, he was smarter than that.

Wait WHAT? He already banned his name yet they still allow him to play? The problem here is that the money still goes from him to the casino and yet nothing goes from the casino to him.

That's the catch there. He knows even if he wins he won't be getting paid so he rather stops entirely because what's the point of gambling when you're not getting your winnings? But if you look at it on the side, you will notice that these patterns he used to stop his gambling addiction cannot work for someone who gambles for fun. As long as there is an opportunity to participate in gambling, someone who gambles for fun will still go there and gamble. The pattern only works for someone who is into gambling to make money.

If he wins, he can still receive his winnings but is only limited to $200. So he can still gamble. He can't receive winnings of more than $200. Maybe that was the best way for him to reduce his gambling addiction, but who knows, maybe he still gambled at other casinos that didn't have his name on the list of names marked by the system. Anything can happen, especially if he has a large list of casinos that he can still visit, and we know that a gambler can have more than three of his favorite casinos.

But someone who gambles just for fun will not use self-exclusion because his goal in gambling is not to make money. He could understand that gambling was just entertainment and should not be taken too seriously. And it's better that way because at least we are still free to gamble at any casino and can withdraw more than $200 winnings.

To me it was all about Killin the thrill he could get about the chances he could have on winning big money from gambling, if the chances are nor longer there and the money is not longer a factor besides the fun he could get, then we shouldnot be surprised such strategy or measure worked for him.
And honestly, I believe it would work on anyone how is addicted to gambling and continues to chase losses the same way he did.
Though, doing something as extreme as this would imply to find a new hobby or thing to partake in, so one can replace gambling, so the effectivenezz of the self-exclusion can be bigger, otherwise, the person will continue to try to participate in gambling and betting on underground and smaller markets, which are not included in the self exclusion system.

If the gambler made the big winning in the gambling site will be the most experienced gambler easy do this one,But if the gambler doesn’t make big win and loss the entire money.This mean that the gambler will make the money in the gambling site with the experience in that particular game in that particular gambling site.If they have less experience in the gambling site means,many less experienced gamblers will loss the big money in the gambling site.The gamblers should ready to experience themselves in the winning before the start of the game,So he can easy make of the money by the good memories in the gambling win.

Well, it seems obvious to me that these desperate measures would be easier to take by a gambler who has not experienced a significant win ever and most of his gambling history is plaged with crippling losses and anxiety. Nobody want to feel anxiety and hopelessness while gambling, not even addicted people, that is why they continue to gamble, in order to keep their hopes and expectations up.
If there was a gambler who not only lost significants amounts to the casino but also managed to get some decent wins for him to enjoy from time to time with his friends and family, then they would never resort to such big measures to exclude themselves of the gambling world.
In the end, it is a personal choice one must analyze carefully and evaluate the benefit/disadvantage ratio before pulling the trigger

OP, there is no sacrifice that's too much for anyone to curtail addiction, gambling addict go through, most times they don't even know what they are doing, gambling can mess people up, for this guy to take such decision, ordinarily one will understand what he might have been going through, if am an addict, and I know that taking this particular step he took will help me, I will do it several times, if it is allowed to do so, I just see nothing wrong with his act, he was just trying to be safe, I have seen so many people here saying that one banning itself is possible, I think that what the guy did is nice unless he is regretting it.

Gambling is not a way to earn money and only those who know when to stop can go a long way with it and not get addicted, he realized this soon which is good for him and he has set an example for every gambler that doesn't realize what they are doing until they get themselves completely stuck with this addiction and then can't get out of it no matter how hard they try. He proved that if you decide to do it, you don't even need someone else as you are enough for it.

Leaving an addiction becomes harder if you don't have the willpower required to stay away from it. A person needs a lot of patience and self-control to be able to keep themselves away from what they are addicted to if they have gone too deep. That's why, one needs to leave it as soon as they realize that they are getting addicted just like this guy.

It's hard to get rid of gambling addiction, we know that
but still he did his best to help himself because he is the only one who can help himself, not everyone can do that especially if you are addicted to gambling. As I said "he already knew where his gambling addiction was going" because few people know if they are addicted to gambling.

It's true, it's difficult to get rid of or stop our gambling addiction if we don't believe in trying to recover and get out of this behavior. That the help of other people or special treatment alone will not be optimal in curing it because gambling addiction originates from within a person who is affected psychologically and that is what gamblers fear most. Because people who are addicted, their behavior will change 180 degrees from what was previously fine to dangerous and unreasonable.

If you are someone who do always having on how to make money or simply minding about getting rich then getting yourself rid with gambling would really be that so hard.This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that wary on the things that you've been dealing with. It is really just that impossible that you cant really be able to picture out on whats its cons and pros
if tending to engage in so much time. For someone who do make out actions which is really that way more than on usual just for them to quit up or avoid gambling then it is really always considered to be a considerable act. Basing up on whats shown or told in op on such condition then it is really just that right or something that good to do specially if you do found yourself already
that addicted then it would be better to stop and find ways for you to be able to avoid it no matter what the cost.

Seeing the advantages and disadvantages of gambling is a behavior that gamblers must know because in this way gamblers will try to behave appropriately when gambling. What you said is true, that someone already knows the advantages and disadvantages of gambling, they will think about how to do this with full introspection so that the risks are not too big later.
Therefore, the thing that must be considered when gambling is good control, discipline and caution so that later it doesn't have a big impact when playing and can actually minimize this impact.

You are conveying ways to become a responsible gambler, which requires continuous practice, which may never stop because gambling situations are always changing. By knowing the risks, a gambler will be careful and not take too big a risk because he is worried that it will make his losses bigger too. He will try to control himself when gambling and not force himself to gamble excessively. He knew that if he did that, he would lose an amount of money, probably more than he could afford. He will try to minimize the losses that will arise, including managing his money well. And if he has had enough of gambling, he can leave the casino without thinking about the results he received.

[I_Anime]

I guess his beginners luck was actually all his luck at ones. Winning such amount just on his first trials. But him coming thinking he can hit the jackpot that easy again. I keep on saying most first gambling by a gambler is always a win to lure a particular gambler in to gambling with hope of hitting that same jackpot that easy or getting rich quick. And which can lead to gambling addictions that why he keep on going again to the extent of using his house rent that just too much. Please guys just try and control the urge of gambling with your hard earn cashes. And always know When to stop.

That's right, this is a responsible method or step in gambling, with this a person will not experience many losses in gambling as long as they do it optimally and remain confident that they can do it. Yes, perhaps in the future there will be obstacles and temptations, but personal awareness of good behavior when gambling will reduce the risk of gambling. Indeed, this is not easy for gamblers, both those who are addicted and those who are new, but for experienced gamblers, this is something they have prepared or even done beforehand, even though the results are not necessarily on target or exactly what they want, but at least they've tried.😁

Yes, only by being responsible can a person prevent losses that are too big and also, by being responsible, can he avoid the temptations that come to him, especially since we know that in gambling, there will be lots of temptations that we will encounter. If we cannot be responsible, we will lose self-control, which will trigger an even bigger impact on gambling. We can experience a gambling addiction that we never imagined before, so that's what we avoid. Both experienced and inexperienced gamblers must be able to be responsible when playing gambling. If we can be responsible, we will become gamblers who are wise in responding to what happens in gambling.

Therefore, responsible behavior is very important when carrying out gambling activities. By behaving well, we can prevent and reduce the impact of the risk of losing a lot of money when gambling by limiting the money we use there. How lucky someone would be if they did this when they wanted to gamble, yes of course the temptation will also be there but it depends on how we ourselves make decisions whether we are easily tempted or not.😁

[Julien_Olynpic]

This is similar to how a person, being a drug addict, handcuffs himself to a radiator or to some pipe, or locks himself in a cage and throws away the key. In my opinion, this step is quite radical; it could have been avoided. This is usually decided upon only in extreme cases, when there is no longer a way out. But usually it is difficult for gamblers to stop and such radical measures are stopped only mechanically. But the addiction still remains in my head. And this is the most important thing. You need to fight the cause, and not tie your hands. And the reason is often that a person does not fully understand his capabilities, chances, advantages and limitations.
