A hero or a fool?

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.😁

Preventive measures and reducing the risk of losing money when gambling is a must for gamblers. Unfortunately, many gamblers don't pay attention to this because they want to win and instead use more and more money to gamble. They don't win but lose, making them even more frustrated because they can't win the gambling game. Gambling provides great temptation to all gamblers, and only wise gamblers can avoid this temptation and gamble comfortably because they don't think too much about winning. They can make decisions to avoid gambling when they don't feel like gambling.

Definitely a fool, if he already went to a gaming commission to have his name blacklisted or banned then shouldn't his gambling habits have stopped because he was banned or flagged whatever? But as the story goes on, this person can still get into these casinos and still play but only get a 200 USD win, man can still waste money and not be able to bring back a profit because he can't win big which is stupid, if you're not stopping from gambling even after you did those crazy request from the gaming commission then nothing changed because the money spent is still there and he's still gambling.

Like what is even the essence of getting his name banned and flagged if he can still continue gambling with a winning limit of $200 like this is insanity, had it been he did that in other to quit gambling it would have been better but what he just did doesn't really change anything but it's just an act of childishness because I'm yet to figure out the motive of his silly decision.

Gambling provides great temptation to all gamblers, and only wise gamblers can avoid this temptation and gamble comfortably because they don't think too much about winning. They can make decisions to avoid gambling when they don't feel like gambling.

Agree with you, that the temptation to gamble is very big and only a few people are able to resist the temptation. As you said, one of them is a wise gambler, they can play wisely by limiting their money and when to play, especially if they really understand the risks in gambling so that a wise gambler is not so much after winning as it is for entertainment.
Therefore, wise gamblers play naturally and they know that winning is very difficult to achieve, so when they feel bored, it is time for them to stop for a moment and think about something else that is useful for them.

You are right and it is necessity that they no longer care about and they will only care about how to continue playing and win some profit.
But when they use more and more money in gambling, it is always with careless attitude and of course this will end up being very detrimental financially and even affecting their emotions and psychology.
Just imagine they get win but don't make wise decision by withdrawing the winnings but instead use the winnings to bet again in the hope of making bigger win.
And if they experience defeat, they don't immediately stop, but try to recover their losses by adding certain amount of betting money.
These two attitudes are the key to gambler downfall and these two attitudes have caused many gamblers to experience the various problems they face.

Every gambler must always have the right approach if they don't want bad things to happen and of course it not just about approach but also wise or responsible attitude.

But the question is, can it be done easily?
I don't think so and looking at the various problems that occur and are experienced by every gambler, it can be concluded that the majority of gamblers have difficulty in having the right approach and wise and responsible attitude towards the gambling activities they carry out.

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?

people are funny,lol,how can someone take this kind of love on oneself knowing fully well that he will be tempted to play someday.There are people who are just ready to do anything without proper thinking.Did he think before he embarked on such self restriction?I don't think so because if he had taken a deep thought of the actions,he would have known that he is also hindering himself from getting the kind of luck he got the first time.Well,maybe he made such move because he knew he wasn't going to go to any Casino hall to gamble again,or he did that to put an end to his gambling life, because he said it has been 10 years now since he gambled.But to me,I think the move was not a wise move.

Gambling is risky. We cant sugarcoat. The problem is the gambler's thinking, not gambling. They gamble why? For excitement or escape? Realizing this can change game. Moderation matters. I support prudent gambling, not a ban. Financial and time restrictions are essential. Life control is at stake, not just money. Smart gamblers play to have fun, not to win money.

Last but not least, support systems. An outside perspective might help gamblers stop the loss and frustration cycle. This might come from friends, family, or professionals. It's not enough to resist temptation; you must also comprehend why. Gambling should be optional.

Perhaps, they are called wise gamblers because they know what is good for them. They don't just know how to control themselves but also, they know how to remain responsible despite the losses they get.

If we all had that kind of mindset, we would never hear people doing stupid things like suicide and huge debts, it all went so well. But too unfortunate that we all have different gambling approaches, and most of us lose our temper and self-control. That is why many gamblers have been in the struggle to control their emotions and have fallen into addiction.

Isn't it funny how we rationalize others' decisions? Impulsivity can lead to irrational decisions, therefore you're right. Consider "bounded rationality," where human decision-making is limited by knowledge, cognitive limits, and time. This may have been rational in his situation. Self-control, a virtue often admired but hard to practice, may have influenced his gambling abstinence. Like a strict diet, it's hard but important for long-term health. Isn't he putting long-term health over short-term gain by not gambling?

You think he's denying himself luck. May this be a purposeful move to avoid pitfalls? Gambling is risky. Isn't he protecting himself from financial ruin and addiction's psychological effects by leaving? In life and entertainment, knowing when to back off is smart. Instead of being foolish, this choice may show his strength and wisdom. Could what we assume is a lack of thinking be deeper introspection?

Therefore, wise gamblers play naturally and they know that winning is very difficult to achieve, so when they feel bored, it is time for them to stop for a moment and think about something else that is useful for them.

Avoiding temptation requires good self-control so we can say no when we see an attractive promotion. We can stay away from gambling if we don't want to gamble because gambling is not very important to us. We only use gambling as entertainment and also do not do it as often as we should. But if people are always tempted when they see the promotion, they will just try to get it because they think this is the opportunity they have been waiting for.

It is difficult to be a wise gambler because they have to be able to see the situation and decide exactly what they should do. They will not force themselves to continue gambling if the situation does not allow it and will only leave the casino rather than experience bad things.

You are right and it is necessity that they no longer care about and they will only care about how to continue playing and win some profit.
But when they use more and more money in gambling, it is always with careless attitude and of course this will end up being very detrimental financially and even affecting their emotions and psychology.

They will always be careless because they don't pay attention to what has happened to them when they have experienced financial losses but don't realize it. They have had the opportunity to win some money and instead of withdrawing their winnings, they continue gambling because they want to win even bigger. But that only turned their win into an even greater loss than before. This happens because they are greedy and want an even bigger win. Every gambler should know that when they win, especially a lot of money, they should immediately cash out their winnings and leave the casino to save themselves and their money. They still have a lot of time to gamble and instead continue gambling.

This cannot be done easily, especially if they do not have strong self-control, which many gamblers have experienced. This must not influence us because we must be responsible with ourselves when gambling and must leave immediately after winning a lot of money. Becoming a wise gambler requires time and practice, which is what we have to do so that we don't gamble too much.

Gambling is risky. We cant sugarcoat. The problem is the gambler's thinking, not gambling. They gamble why? For excitement or escape? Realizing this can change game. Moderation matters.

Last but not least, support systems. An outside perspective might help gamblers stop the loss and frustration cycle. This might come from friends, family, or professionals. It's not enough to resist temptation; you must also comprehend why. Gambling should be optional.

Gamblers thinking needs to be changed to not think about winning, but that won't be possible because many gamblers still want to win. Even though they have experienced a big loss, that still doesn't stop them from continuing to gamble, especially since the temptation of gambling is very big and can make them gamble again. That's why every gambler must have good self-control to be able to resist temptations that come and also to prevent even bigger losses.

And so that gamblers do not return to gambling more often, they must have other activities that can distract them from thinking about gambling. They have to do other activities to keep them busy so that their gambling activities can be reduced and they don't even have free time just to gamble. It will make them slowly reduce their gambling activities but that is only for those who are willing to do it.

That's the only way out of gambling addiction. You either plan your gambling life well and follow the principles squarely, or risk losing it all, including your mind to gambling addiction. Its very difficult to fight the urge to continue throwing money into gambling, even for very experienced gamblers, the only remedy is to plan yourself before hand and set aside only the about you've designed for gambling when your eye is still clear and decide by yourself not to deposit more funds if it gets exhausted, its finding means the end of a gambling session.
That's the only way. Waiting to control yourself while gambling is a great risk, all prevention and controls should be done before the gambling session starts to be on the very much safe side.

[roksana.hee]

Effective control and prevention of gambling addiction require proactive planning and adherence to principles. It's crucial to set clear limits beforehand and stick to them, resisting the urge to deposit more funds once the designated amount is exhausted. Waiting to control impulses during gambling poses a significant risk, so self-discipline and responsible planning are paramount for a safer gaming experience.

But from what I've read on what the man did, he's still gambling and he just made it difficult for himself to win something big which for me is a foolish move since he's still gambling and I would've said it's admirable if he banned himself that he's not allowed to play anymore but no, that's not the case on this one so this guy is a fool for me.

They will always be careless because they don't pay attention to what has happened to them when they have experienced financial losses but don't realize it.

This must not influence us because we must be responsible with ourselves when gambling and must leave immediately after winning a lot of money. Becoming a wise gambler requires time and practice, which is what we have to do so that we don't gamble too much.

But there will be one condition that can make them aware, namely when they really experience destruction which makes them feel difficulties that they cannot resolve, this will be very effective in giving them much better thinking and also the realization that they have made many mistakes.
Maybe there are still some people who have experienced destruction but still make mistakes, but as time goes by they will truly regret it and of course will blame themselves for every action that has occurred.
I believe conditions like this can change everything, including addicted gamblers.

It looks quite difficult and of course not all gamblers can have responsible attitude, but if awareness exists then slowly every gambler will be able to make decisions and have more responsible mindset.
Everything is just about conditions and also time to be able to have these changes.

Well, we are players because in view of our Experience we can make good or bad Decisions , Depending on what we have in mind, for example, if we are conscious people , we know that things in the casino are Difficult, that the way to win is Difficult. and that all the time things will be done to improve, in this sense if we are always going to see things in other ways then we have to study that we will always have options to make a process Better , in this case in the casino game, for example we can improves the way we spend our money, we cannot stick to the fact that we must always be good with what we do, if we feel like we are going to lose, then Eventually we go and lose, we have to pay attention to those feelings, but we must also be intelligent If we have a hunch that we are Going to have a large profit and we have a Ready Profit , in our case we must apply our Intelligence, or bet with everything or a large Amount , but Rather bet with very little money, this will Continue to Extend the profits. .

If we make bets with a large Amount of money , it is likely that things will get there and we will ask for everything, that works like that, because it is what we personally consider to be the advantage that the casino offers and exercises over us regular Players , letting us read through it. the emons thinking that I love to multiply our profits by 3 or 4 and when we Confront ourselves with the reality is that we have lost everything, then if we are on a roll and we have a lot of gains, and we feel comfortable, it is good to lower the score if we can at the Minimum because if it is to win, then let us Continue Winning with the Minimum bet and not with the Maximum or with a somewhat large Amount , because if we lose, then all the work we have done goes to the Ground , and that emotion we had becomes in tirstea and without money in a Casino because things are not Moving forward and we can't do much.

When they experience a breakdown in gambling, they will begin to realize that everything was their fault for not wanting to think about what they had done. Once they realize it and are willing to try to fix it, they still have the opportunity to do so. Many people make mistakes but only a few people can realize their mistakes while they continue to make other mistakes. It won't change the situation and will only keep making mistakes. But if they can finally regret their mistakes and try to correct them, they can change things for the better. And with the lessons they get, they can become wise gamblers who will not follow their egos in gambling.

Indeed, it will never be easy because we must learn to have responsibility first. If their consciousness tells them that they are ready to learn the necessary things, they will start to change their mindset and start being responsible for what they do in gambling. They can also change the bad things in their lives to become responsible gamblers.

Preventive measures and reducing the risk of losing money when gambling is a must for gamblers. Unfortunately, many gamblers don't pay attention to this because they want to win and instead use more and more money to gamble. They don't win but lose, making them even more frustrated because they can't win the gambling game. Gambling provides great temptation to all gamblers, and only wise gamblers can avoid this temptation and gamble comfortably because they don't think too much about winning. They can make decisions to avoid gambling when they don't feel like gambling.

In the case of the man that OP has mentioned, there's no way that's going to make a dent to his gambling problem because he's still gambling and at the same time he's still gambling right and it's much worse because he's also limited when it comes to wins which means it's all losses for him.

Yes, with good planning, as gamblers we will not lose a lot of money there because we are equipped with the right principles. And it is also possible that we will not become addicts because we already know the negative risks that will be experienced in gambling. It is true that everything is not as easy as we say, but with good self-control we can anticipate it early on and gamblers must really pay attention to this, so that it doesn't become a disaster later on.

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.

I think guy wasn't on his way to addiction because it would be too late if he was. When you can stop, when you can  for a ban for yourself or things like that, you are a healthy person and everything should be OK with you. Many people who really need the same approach, they can't unfortunately do that because they can't control themselves. It's a terrible situation when yo can't control yourself, I don't know what can be worse. Try not to let it get to that point, guys.

Gambling, like many other activities, involves an element of risk. It's an entertainment option for many, but it can quickly turn into a problem when not approached with caution. Having a predetermined plan ensures that people are aware of their limits and are less likely to succumb to impulsive behavior. The allure of gambling can be powerful, and the risk of losing control is real.

People can create a framework that acts as a barrier against impulsive decision-making by planning ahead and setting strict guidelines. It allows them to make rational choices. about how much time and money they are willing to invest in gambling activities. The thrill of the game and the desire to recoup losses can cloud judgment. Having a predetermined plan acts as a safeguard against such emotions to ensure that decisions are based on logic rather than emotional impulses.

[ethereumhunter]

In the case of the man that OP has mentioned, there's no way that's going to make a dent to his gambling problem because he's still gambling and at the same time he's still gambling right and it's much worse because he's also limited when it comes to wins which means it's all losses for him.

If he cannot reduce his gambling problem or limit himself from gambling, he does have the possibility to continue gambling because he has been gambling for a long time, and he still finds it difficult to limit his gambling. But from what @OP mentioned, the guy hasn't been near a casino in over 10 years. That might prove he managed to control himself by not gambling for that long.

If he really did limit himself that way, he had already proven it. But we don't know the truth and only realize that such methods can indeed provide support to someone who wants to stay away from gambling. People with the same intentions can use many other methods as this man.
