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

[bocyaj]

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.

The gambling game with the emotion was the mistake made by many gamblers after the loss,it was the same thing which was made by myself over a six months.Sometimes I had a capacity to handle the emotions if the game was based on the less amount of loss in the game.The gamblers who don’t have any prior experience in the gambling can do the gambling with the less initial by the saving money which was made by the regular income.

If the gamblers don’t have any steady income,he should have the ability to save more money from his business.The business will give more money sometimes,but the gambling also give the chance to the buyer to learn the value of the money.He should learn to do gambling without any emotions after some experience in gambling site.

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.

Even professional gamblers will not prioritize gambling over the rest of their expenses, only those that have problems do so, and we know how badly a person can do once they take that path.

However I think in part this mistaken attitude can be explained away by the false image people have about professional gamblers, they often think it is this activity that is full of glamour, when in truth gambling for money is like any other job in which you need to sit down for 8 to 10 hours and do something boring during all that time, with the difference that in your average job you are guaranteed to earn money after all that time, something that may not necessarily happen when you are gambling.

It is, but you have to be consistent with it, and that's the hardest part that people often not acknowledge. It's extremely hard to be consistent at not doing something especially if that something used to take up the bulk of your time before. My advice is to take up a hobby that consumes a lot of time as well that will steer you away from gambling. Making yourself busy and not allowing any free time for yourself to gamble is one good strategy to lay off the degeneracy once and for all.

Consistency is very influential in efforts to reduce gambling activities because being consistent means consistently suppressing desires and thoughts when you really want to gamble, I have studied it and I know very well what it is like to experience difficulties in dealing with problems like this.
Good advice but I have often said the same thing because having enough other positive activities can make us reduce the intensity of gambling and forget about it for certain period of time.
This method works for some people, but not to completely stop but also to simply reduce and get used to the pressure of not doing more gambling activities excessively.

We can only give advice and suggestions based on our personal experience and of course we can say all this because we have been successful in doing it.
Somehow, for other people, it is clear that if it is based on the right intentions and efforts, it will definitely be successful.
And I would like to remind you again that actually stopping gambling altogether forever is difficult matter, but to reduce it there are still many efforts that will be successful if done correctly.

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.

We are not sure if all those who said that they are only playing for fun are not lying. Or maybe they only change through the years? But, I'm sure that nothing is perfect and they can still make a mistake sometimes. This also applies to you.

I think that the adrenaline rush is also/still there even if you are only playing for fun. It's just that its level were increased when we make things a little more serious. For you, football is easy, but for me and the others, it wasn't. It's only about preferences. There is no way we can tell what will happen in the future, so don't say that you can now win next time. But as you said, losing isn't really a big deal. That's great.

If I could get a dollar for every time someone here says ‘ I only gamble for fun’, I would be a millionaire. Let’s be honest, gambling is not a recreational activity, that’s your hard earned money you done stake on the table. If you want to have fun, go to the movies. Gambling is only fun when you’re winning but when you start to lose, that’s when the monster comes out. The problem gamblers face is their need to want to feel a win, the euphoria of winning is what many are addicted to.

I don't have a gambling problem and I don't have one that I can control for years by making up excuses like the one that I make enough profit for it to be OK-ish

The way I see it, my gambling is a habit, not an addiction and it's 100% under control. Sometimes I do it once a week, sometimes once a month, but there were times when I was abroad and busy with work so much that I haven't gambled for a month and felt completely fine. Also, I never jeopardize my finances. I only gamble small amounts of money, the money I'd otherwise spend on useless things like sweets, snacks, beer...

I agree, If a person doesn't expect anything while doing gambling, there's an instances that it's like they're just gambling as their pass time or they just really want to try with no expected amount in return which is many gamblers are just like this. In that way, I agree with you that a gambler can do gambling without any emotion because there's no fear of losing and excitement just like those others who really expected to win so they can have a profit.

If they gamble just for fun, it would be acceptable because they are not chasing wins so they don't risk losing a lot and can stop once satisfied. A gambler can gamble without emotion so he won't feel anything about the results he gets. He can accept everything well and does not desire anything other than just having fun. By using gambling as entertainment, we will not experience any gambling problems and will not experience gambling addiction either because we can take care of ourselves and the best thing is that we can control ourselves well so that we can really enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Why "reduce" when one can "eliminate"? Reprogramming the brain's thrill-seeking neuronal circuits is necessary. Instead of gambling, we need fascinating, useful activities. I mean a lifetime change, not a quick fix. Lets face it: stating its hard to stop is self-defeating. This belief must be challenged. Its about creating a mindset that makes gambling disgusting. This transition requires a fundamental change in identity and principles, not merely advice.

Community and support matter. Temptation comes from alone. Being among gamble-free folks is crucial. Its about developing a new normal without gambling, not merely lowering the impulse. We must harness our power to change.

A person begins to experience excitement precisely when he or she gets the emotion of the game. If a person does not have any emotions, what incentive can make him take part in games on websites? Only the desire to earn money? Such an incentive will not last long

It's true, if I don't find excitement in the game, it doesn't make sense to do it , why continue there ? What we have to do is simply try to do what we like and be able to have the expectation of increasing our money, this is what moves us as players to be and have money to continue doing what we like, if a player He does not have any type of incentive for this , because he has a lot of money , he also has his advantage, that he will not fall into any type of Addiction , Therefore he can do things as they go.

If the player, on the other hand , has a lot to lose , plays with more intensity, puts all his emotions to the limit because he knows that things can go wrong , then this can generate many things, desperation, stress, or simply if he activates the adrenaline that makes time pass very quickly depending on the level of concentration you have , which is why things must be done to improve the game even as players.

After many years spent in gambling, on forums related to the discussion of gambling, training, watching hundreds of hours of professional games of streamers, as well as falling to the bottom and rising many times, I can say with confidence that I have no problems with addiction to the game. I have a very good idea of how everything works, I know various strategies in games, so I only allow myself in very rare cases to play a little for fun and to remember the old days. I haven’t crossed red lines for years because I know perfectly well how it will end as soon as I take a step for her. I don’t want to go through this anymore, so I treat the game responsibly and consciously. It pains me to see someone who has little experience in gambling and steps on the same rake every time and cannot get out. It’s hard for me to advise such people, because if they themselves don’t understand what they are doing, it will be difficult for others to explain what is happening.

And it is impossible for a gambler to have no emotion at all. When he's playing games and winning those bets, I doubt it that he'd be just upset or have that frowned face with all of those good things. But with this, this is where the things have been caught up easy for the gamblers. We can't stop these emotions to trigger and that will cause us problems if we're not mindful of it. The problems like we want to gamble more even if we don't have money left anymore and you just want to do it as if you don't care to your status anymore whether you have money left or there's nothing left at all.

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.

That's right, one of the most important things in gambling is self-control, because once you can't control yourself that's when everything starts going bad. It's okay to lose. Losing is part of any game, but you should know where your limits are. You can't spend all your money on gambling just because you want to recover the money you lost, don't do that. Always play with a budget, what you can afford to lose so you don't have to chase it.

Gamblers need to accept that losing and to do so frequently when they gamble is inevitable, once they do then dealing with it becomes way easier as people can take the precautions necessary as they expect to lose from the very beginning of their session.

But those unable to accept the truth will fight tooth and nail to prove everyone else wrong and make profits while they gamble, and that is when problems can appear, because the number of gamblers which can achieve such goal is not high.

At first, it will be difficult to accept the loss because they must feel pain or disappointment. But gamblers who have lost should know that they are not alone. More gamblers have experienced losses, and many of them accept their losses well because it is part of gambling. If they still cannot accept their loss, they shouldn't gamble at all and stay away from gambling forever.

They must learn to control themselves to avoid losing a lot if that can reduce their feelings of disappointment. But no matter what, the loss will always be there in gambling, and if there are still some of them who cannot accept the loss but instead still try to win, they will accept even bigger losses. Maybe they never imagined how much defeat they would receive.

They also have to learn to understand that gambling is not just about winning but also losing and even losing money from gambling. They also have to understand that gambling doesn't always mean winning and is very risky. The point is don't be obsessed with what you see out there like streamers or influencers because they you could get a fake win that looks like a real win.

Many gamblers cannot accept defeat because they always consider gambling as their source of income and have high expectations of a big win or some kind of jackpot, even though the most important thing for gamblers is to be able to control themselves that gambling is just entertainment so they can accept defeat. because there are things that need to be understood, the dealer will always win against us at any time.

If more gamblers could understand that, it could at least reduce the number of gamblers who lose a lot of money and could also reduce the number of gamblers who are addicted to gambling. They will no longer chase victory or recover from their losses because achieving them is difficult. They will only gamble to get entertainment and end the gambling game when they feel like they have had enough and will not return to gambling for a while.

Gamblers who cannot accept their losses will try to recover even though they know it could cost them more money, especially those who use gambling to make money. They will try anyway because they don't see that gambling is not about making money. They must immediately change their mindset before their situation worsens and they lose money.

I don't have a gambling problem either most people are just used to losing control over a variety of things, and gambling isn't the only issue people face, therefore people should stop viewing gambling as the only issue. And their folks are doing very well with gambling, but since it does not benefit anyone, the person should stop. Yes, I now find it easier to limit my gambling. We each have our own approach to things. The issue is when you even busy with work it will be very difficult for you to even have time to gamble. You can only enjoy gambling when you are free. Wise people gamble with small sums of money. Because using a small amount will not hurt you, it is a risk reduction approach. and their is always something your spending money on.
