A hero or a fool?

[letteredhub]

Your insights on the challenges faced by gamblers and the crucial role of personal responsibility and mindset are thought-provoking. Indeed, acknowledging one's faults and taking proactive steps towards positive change is essential.

Taking a proactive action for our own good is really essential in this "business", but in the op I think the step taking by the gambler was a mediocre step, what's the point of reporting yourself to be barred from gambling to win big amount whereas you still turn around to come and gamble for small stipends, like what point is he trying to prove after losing his rent due to his careless and undisciplined gambling behaviour. I think this is a foolish act.

Gambler becomes addicted to gambling it becomes very difficult to make positive changes his thoughts or views will be different which will lead him to more damage. Then nothing good will work in his mind he will continue to gamble. That's why gambling should be done in a limited way knowing the bad ways of gambling. A gambler can easily get himself out of trouble if his intentions are right.

Youre right. If someone gets hooked on gambling, it messes up their mindset and makes it hard to turn things around. Keeping it in check and knowing the risks helps. If they're in it for the right reasons, they can get out of trouble and avoid the constant gambling trap.

It depends on the person if he is hooked on that game and becomes an addict, which means he has no control over himself. There are people who are hooked on casino games and others know how to stop playing casino games even though they are hooked on that game they still know how to stop gambling. They follow a budget and that is important in every gambling you do.

It's really surprising and funny how people can take so much risk and even dare to do certain things because I would personally not think of such not for a day because it's very possible the big win you have long anticipated could come after you have done the self exclusion and that will mean you. Will have to be prosecuted for such win and then you will lose your money and still suffer jail term for winning.

I don't see this approach to stoping gambling as a really wise one because it's not even going to avaiil you opportunity if you at any day or point im time get the opportunity to get something out gambling again you definitely wouldn't be able to.

The risks taken are very good in terms of money when the results are given, but if risks are taken where many things can go wrong, it is something that I do not Recommend , according to the capabilities of each player, decisions must be made, because if you don't take good care of your money, things can be disastrous, many problems can arise, among the biggest problems is addiction and addiction is a problem that you have to be very Careful about, because when we are in a casino what we need most is It's money, and if it leaves and we run out of Work , it's totally our responsibility.

That's why when we're here and we live in certain situations, we have to be looking at things, whether to take risks or not , if we hit it then we'll win a lot of money, we'd be the heroes of the Party , the Chosen ones , but I've seen some friends lose their temper. deinro and there is no way they can get it back, it's sad , but despite everything they have to accept things as they are, in casinos things are that way.

I would credit the man for sanity despite addiction. That gambler is courageous and has the balls to face the truth. The problem with many gamblers is that they cannot even make themselves face the reality. Many are in denial. Many are continuously damaging their finances, their personality, and even their relationships with their family, friends, co-workers, relatives, etc. Many gamblers insist that their luck is coming, etc. This gambler banning himself is the man. And how he has already successfully quit gambling.

that is not a way of limiting yourself from gambling. offline Casino is just only a gambling hall where you play gamble with your friends and have fun, but that does not limit you from online where you open an account and play at home. Or does any law restrictions also playing online?
That strategy to me is just a way of making people feel that he has changed from his gambling habit or let people remove that notion of a wayward person. If not so, I don't see any other reason.

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

This seems like a great idea to fight gambling addiction. Having a list of gamblers, who voluntarily decided to exclude themselves from winning any money out of playing offline casinos seems like a way to deal with the problem. My country doesn't have such rule of self-exlusion when it comes to offline gambling. The casino owners definitely won't be against imposing such rule, because they won't be losing any money.
Why would you call this guy a fool? He suffered from gambling addiction and he found a way to remove any joy and satisfaction, which he gets out of gambling. He took actions to fight his addiction. He's a hero.

Either in my country there is no such thing, even gambling is blatantly prohibited.
Except Online gambling which has many loopholes even though it is banned or gambling sites are blocked.

Related to the efforts made by gamblers who impose bans on themselves, this certainly requires momentary awareness when they need to do so.
This is a unique enough way to make it unacceptable in any gambling.

But will this work on Online gambling?
Of course, depending on how the Online gambling system itself, limiting it individually is quite impossible.
But the effort made is quite appreciated because he became a hero for himself.

Perhaps he used methods that no one else had ever tried to avoid gambling, so he thought about doing it that way. He can avoid offline casinos, but there is no guarantee that he will not use online casinos, especially now that there are so many online casinos, both fiat and crypto. He could have opened an account at an online casino and gambled from his home without anyone knowing. This will be even more dangerous because no one is watching him when he gambles, and he can also gamble secretly. If that's the case, he just avoids offline casinos but still gambles at online casinos, so what he wants to avoid gambling still can't be done well. This is where self-awareness is needed to be able to suppress the feeling of wanting to gamble and always try to avoid gambling.

Yes, I too consider him a hero. Many gamblers, especially after many losses in a row, think that that "their luck is coming", as you said, and they will never stop, they will keep betting and borrowing money and betting again. For many gambling addicts it's only getting worse with time. It takes a real hero to find the strength in yourself to quit at one point and make it hard for yourself to go back to gambling by banning yourself.
