Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years?

[junder]

So far I have not had a problem with gambling. I can still enjoy it to just spend my free time. Gambling does not affect happiness, security, relationships, finances or anything else. I gamble to enjoy my free time and get entertainment from gambling.

Gambling is a game that requires money. We have to control our gambling activities so that we don't overdo it. We should not get deeper into gambling because there are consequences that we will receive if we gamble excessively. And when we want to stop gambling, we must be able to stop immediately and not say one more round. That will only make us forget to control our gambling time and we will also use more money.

If we use gambling as an activity and we can limit this activity, we will not experience any problems. But unfortunately, many people become excessive in gambling so that many of them become addicted to gambling. The way to stop gambling is to always remember that gambling is entertainment and we must limit it.

that's good, I appreciate that. because many gamblers who gamble do not do it like that, they aim for big wins that must be obtained which makes them lose a lot of money. This has an impact on finances, happiness and relationships. because they gamble excessively, which is not normal, so they have problems with the gambling they do. They should gamble appropriately so that it doesn't have an impact on many things that are detrimental to themselves.

the disease is there, those who have lost, sometimes they think and say "maybe one more bet" this is what makes them gamble unreasonably where they will start to become addicted to gambling which harms them in many ways, especially their finances. Obviously this will be detrimental to those who gamble excessively. because sometimes people who gamble with limits can also change their motives when they are in the game, where the strong attraction of gambling can change a person's mindset in an instant, and this must be avoided so as not to harm yourself.

I don't have a gambling addiction that is too serious, I only gamble when I have more money, maybe this is due to my personal economic factors, on the other hand, I don't bet too big and I sometimes regret it when I spend some of my small money.

I don't have a gambling addiction that is too serious, I only gamble when I have more money, maybe this is due to my personal economic factors, on the other hand, I don't bet too big and I sometimes regret it when I spend some of my small money.

I think that's what happens to most of us when we play, we can't be betting so much because we can lose a part and that art is very important for us is where we say that we really needed that part, that's why When we play the best thing is to put a part of the money you are willing to lose, maybe if you had less money you wouldn't feel sorry, because that's what it's all about, first of all having fun, knowing that something is being done to be able to generate money, Well, if you can't, it doesn't matter, settle for what you have, because the pleasure of having played and having a different time remains, that's why when we do any kind of things in the casino we always have to be clear that when it comes to everything When it comes to gambling you have to be very emphatic, you have to measure things well to make money.

When we think about making more money, obviously we have to spend more money, but that is something that already has to do with another way of playing, and it often gets out of hand, that is the difference between our game and the game of a person who is a millionaire because a millionaire person does not care how much money he spends, there will always be a way to compensate for things if they work out well, if not, then one has to see how one can do to compensate for what has been spent, In this order of ideas it can Happen that when you play, you have to be careful to play a little more, because little by little things get out of Control and you fall into the same mistake as always, that's why it's good to do Things with moderation and without despair so that Everything flows well and there are no extra problems, this is what one always assumes in doing so that everything goes well, but self-control is Important , Especially of emotions , Impulses are the ones that most affect us. They make you play and lose, things that must be managed and Controlled , which is Difficult , but it is controllable.

Very normal for a human being whose really that aiming for making huge money or even getting some income via gambling yet this would be the easiest way to make money at the same time on losing or making yourself that poor.  People should really realize on the things that they've been dealing with so that on the time that they do make out some losses then they wont really be that impulsive
on which trying out to recover on whats lost because on the  time that you would really be something like this then this is where disasters do happen. Try your best not to be hook up by gambling addiction because if you do then it would really be that so hard to get out and make yourself get rid of it because of those kind of impulsive approach and beliefs.

People say they gamble for fun, I don’t. I love the adrenaline rush that comes from winning. Gambling hasn’t affected my personal life in any way. That’s because I don’t gamble above my means. I’m a football fan and hardly miss weekend bets on matches played. Its easy to bet on football because I know the players, I know the teams and I know the leagues. Even if I lose, it’s familiar territory and I know I can get a win next week.

If you prefer the adrenaline rush of gambling, you must have good self-control because, in gambling, many challenges can make someone forget to control themselves. It can make them gamble beyond their means, but limiting your gambling activities is very good because I don't think you will gamble beyond your means. This gives you the ability to control the amount of money you use so that you don't lose too much.

And if you like football betting and have good knowledge, you can win every match. It will allow you to win some money from sports betting. So please don't have any problems with gambling, and I don't have any of those problems either. I consider gambling to be a place to have fun.

Gambling can indeed give us challenges and the risk of losing, so we have to be able to control ourselves well, if we are not able to control ourselves we are likely to experience problems because the spending exceeds the limit we can afford, but if you gamble with money you can afford then It won't be a problem because whether you win or lose, you can accept it well and without emotion.

Football betting is interesting because we can use the skills we have, even though we have to analyze first the team we are going to bet on but at least it will bring us luck if we can predict correctly, after all sports betting is more popular among gamblers than gambling which is based on luck alone because the chances of winning are more attractive in sports betting and it seems that people rarely experience problems in sports betting because the chances are greater there than in other bets.

Lolz, do you have a regret when you won? Seriously gambling isn't for you. I think the small money of yours put in betting should be a money you can avoid to lose, then why regretting after losing it. Life is of two side coin, either a tail or the head and so is gambling as well. It's either you win or lose. And no matter how good you are you will still lose. So try and learn to embrace your lose as you celebrate your winnings.

Very normal for a human being whose really that aiming for making huge money or even getting some income via gambling yet this would be the easiest way to make money at the same time on losing or making yourself that poor.  People should really realize on the things that they've been dealing with so that on the time that they do make out some losses then they wont really be that impulsive
on which trying out to recover on whats lost because on the  time that you would really be something like this then this is where disasters do happen.

As easy it is to make money through gambling, as easy it is to lose it; that's the point we need to understand, and a large number of gamblers who end up addicted are those that only anticipate winning, not considering that losing is also a part of the game. The sooner we come to terms with this, the better. If gambling is affecting your daily life, then you should stop immediately, or at least limit it to a reasonable degree. I never had an issue with going overboard; I always kept a low balance on my accounts and occasionally gambled for a relatively short amount of time, a few times per week.

If I were to stop, I'd quit immediately by completely wiping all balances, logging out of all accounts, and even going ahead and deleting them and blocking them if possible. In the meantime, if I had the urge to start again, I'd stop myself by going for a walk or a short drive to let off steam.

When you can control your problem for a long time, it is not a problem anymore. Yes I used to have that problem with gambling and solved it long time ago and nowadays I don’t even remember having that problem anymore. It is just a memory which happened very very long time ago. I had the same thing with smoking too. Unfortunately, this problem came back to me a few times but I solved this one too. (At least for now lol)  It is under control right now but who knows when will I want to smoke a cig again and lose my control. This is what most addicts have in common. They can’t quit. They only take a break. You need to have a very strong will to have control over yourself.

Many people think that they can get rich quickly by making a lot of money with gambling but on the other hand this also makes them poor quickly, because the chances of winning are small and the chances of losing are large that cannot be avoided or changed, many of them take impulsive actions but they still don't realize what they are doing that clearly makes them lose themselves and not small losses but with large losses, The great thing is that they don't want to admit they are addicted because in my opinion someone who is addicted to gambling does not want to admit that they are addicted to gambling maybe they feel ashamed, it is also unlikely that anyone is proud of himself who is addicted to gambling because this should not be proud of either, many people, especially parents, have a bad view of gambling, therefore when young people are addicted to gambling, it is natural that they have problems with gambling because if the parents know that this child is addicted to gambling, it is likely that the parents will be angry, disappointed or even cry. Gambling addiction is not something to be proud of because this leads to more negative things as well as its dangerous effects can make their lives destroyed, therefore gambling should not be a priority in everyday life, if they have made gambling a priority in their lives then obviously their lives will experience many difficulties, especially financially.

This kind of thing has happened to every gambler and even in my opinion this is a common case, because many of the gamblers do this, where when they lose they are curious and want to return to gambling with the assumption of recovering the losses they have lost, and this triggers them to become addicted to gambling and harm themselves on a large scale, they expect to win with their return to gambling, this one thing becomes impulsive where they find it difficult to be aware of this harmful thing, whether the motive is like what but what is clear is that they keep gambling even though they always get defeated and this usually happens to young people, maybe also because their thinking is still unstable, not thinking about the future. I can't imagine what the future will be like for those who always prioritize gambling over preparing for their future, hopefully they can try to avoid gambling because it will ruin their lives now and in the future.

I think everyone of us here might have gone to this experience, but we don't want to admit that we have the "gambling problem". And perhaps like you, you have gotten control of yourself and so you have prevented from falling into the addiction case.

But for the majority, it could be we have been addicted, but sooner or later found the strength to fight it out and get control. Or really go to the pains of seeking professional help or reach their family before it's too late. And it really take a lot of courage for anyone to admit that they have an addiction before it's too late.

Let's start with the simple choice: Do you consider yourself to have a gambling problem affecting your happiness, security, relationships, finances, etc? (Yes or No)
Now, here is something a bit different: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? Either you make enough income to call it "adult play", so you do not have real problems, and/or you simply stop for a long time. Then - months or years later - it gets worse again and you are in trouble.

(First question was above)
(Second question) Either way, when it's time to stop, how exactly do you do it? (For example) Change other habits, go new places, exercise more, stop drinking, simply "swear off" gambling... How exactly do you stop? Thank you.

 

The first major problem I encountered when I started gambling was fear, whenever I placed some bet on some soccer matches I picked that particular period I haven't learnt the nitty gritty of gambling and I often gamble with almost or half of my total fund so in the course of the game  I was often jittery by checking LiveScore every now and then until the final game, however making some research on gambling particularly gambling with the amount of money I can afford to lose thereafter I ensured that I placed all my bet with with just 5% of my total fund with that method I was able to control my fear and emotion and never bothered to check my bettings until after the matches.

[Kelward]

Controlling gambling addiction can be easier said than done, someone can tell you to just try another hubby, even if you do, you might find yourself coming back to Gambling again. I believe that it takes very high discipline and patience to actually leave an addiction, not something that you can easily replace with another activity and expect the addiction to disappear. The gambler can gradually reduce the time spent on gambling, by engaging in other activities, then gradually there'll be a balance between gambling and the other activities, before he knows it, the time spent in gambling will reduce. If a gambler reaches a stage where he has discipline and can control his gambling emotions, then it'll not be considered
as addiction.

    -    In the first place, I don't have such a problem with gambling. Maybe other gamblers have such behavioral problems. So I can't give you a correct answer to your question.

Because the common problem of gamblers in any casino is their self-control, there are no limits when gambling in terms of the money used, and being greedy is why they become addicts in the end. These are the problem I usually saw here in the forum platform.

Gambling can indeed give us challenges and the risk of losing, so we have to be able to control ourselves well, if we are not able to control ourselves we are likely to experience problems because the spending exceeds the limit we can afford, but if you gamble with money you can afford then It won't be a problem because whether you win or lose, you can accept it well and without emotion.

Football betting is interesting because we can use the skills we have, even though we have to analyze first the team we are going to bet on but at least it will bring us luck if we can predict correctly, after all sports betting is more popular among gamblers than gambling which is based on luck alone because the chances of winning are more attractive in sports betting and it seems that people rarely experience problems in sports betting because the chances are greater there than in other bets.

These challenges will only make us emotional, especially if we experience many losses that make us lose the self-control we previously could maintain. And it will also affect our expenses in gambling, where the limits we have set can be exceeded just because we become emotional when gambling. We have seen many examples of gamblers who lose control of themselves when gambling, which causes them to lose control of themselves. It's best to accept loss as it is, and as long as we don't gamble excessively, we'll be fine because it's money we can afford. We can accept the defeat well and will not try to recover.

Football betting has succeeded in attracting many people to join and place bets. This is because they can win a lot of money, especially if they place big bets and know the sport well. They can predict correctly, so they are sure they will win, and immediately place bets with big money. But this should not be tried by those who cannot analyze well because it will defeat them. We must recognize our analytical skills so we do not sacrifice large amounts of money to place bets.

[redsun114]

Gambling is not a problem, but an opportunity for making money and having a great time. Gambling becomes a problem only if it leads to serious addiction and large losses of money. If everything goes in a reasonable direction, gambling can not be a problem

Yes, it isn't because a true problem is like for example you lost your cell phone in the street by accident and that phone has lots of important stuffs. Gambling is only a kind of activity. It can be an opportunity to make money, only if we are lucky but often times, it was the owner are the ones who makes money through our losses.

Gambling can give us a great time if we don't take things seriously, because if we do, then we will end up betting above our limits and if we are not lucky to win, it can only give us a bad time. When we feel that we are addicted, the problem must be from us (not gambling). So, we shouldn't blame it if ever we do.

I don't have gambling problem but I don't think that was easy fix or it's easier said than done if you really have a gambling problem. I think seeking professional help would be your best choice if you're undergoing some problem, it may take some money for you but if you have that money I think it's still worth it.

Having a gambling problem can be very addictive to us but the problem is that we might not find out until we are told by people around us if how deep we have gone into gambling. We need to study the way we gamble and work on certain ways that could be a problem to us as a gambler. Gambling problem can be a big deal for us and a future problem if we don't try as much as possible to work on it and make sure that we look for people that are going to help us. It is better to face the problem and look for ways to make sure we resolve the problem we have than not doing anything to solve the problem we have.

[Sanugarid]

I don't have any problem with gambling. And I don't prioritize gambling. Remember not to prioritize! Gambling is a game, a game that costs money to have fun. If you think that gambling is a source of income, that's a big mistake, I guarantee that from here you will experience a lot of problems if you become addicted to it.

We are the same, we really shouldn't prioritize gambling because it will only cost us badly, especially if you depend on it for money. It is not right for you to make it a source of income because there is no certainty if you will win because we know that there are often losses here that's why it is a bad idea to make it a source of income.

To be honest, I have never experienced a problem with gambling because apart from not gambling often, I also have a budget allocated for it and I don't exceed the budget I have set for gambling.

Yes, it's better that way, what you do is control. This is what we need to pay attention to, to prevent addiction we need to understand first that gambling is a game and not a place to multiply money, allocate money for gambling and don't overdo it - if secondary basic needs and savings have been met and there are still a few funds then take half of the funds the rest was for gambling.

The gambler should not worry after the winning in the gambling site,So how logic to get sad after the loss.If the gambler had loss in one game,the person in the same game making the money.So he should understand the reality and try to accept both the winning and losing in the game.The gambler should start the game with the less amount to avoid of big loss at the initial stage of gambling.If the gamblers had learn the game in the gambling site,then he can use more money to play the gambling game.The gamblers who begin the gambling game with more capital would make the more money as the winning from the gambling site.
