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

[wxa7115]

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.

Making the realization that earning money while gambling is important but it is not everything, since there are many gamblers out here that know that they cannot win and to their detriment still gamble too much.

So that realization needs to be accompanied with a strategy to bet less money and to spend our time in other hobbies, as a way to occupy our minds with something other than thoughts about gambling, which at the end are what force those people to gamble again, even if they know that what they are doing is wrong.

It's not really a problem if you can control it right? Being in control means that you can't go overboard or act too much when you're doing something right? So to answer your question, I don't think I do have a problem that I have days where I'm in control, I try to be disciplined as much as I can and that's why I don't have any problems, if I gamble with a set amount of bankroll, that's the only amount I will use to gamble even if the total bankroll that I have is higher than what I've set to use for that gambling session. It's difficult to do at first but once you get used to doing it, you're going to be fine, there's probably even days that you're going to quit halfway and you haven't even spent all the bankroll for that day. I try to do some self-reflection right now and recall if there's another answer to that but I can't seem to recall one, maybe the part where I get angry at close calls when I'm a streak with slots but I don't play slots too much so I don't count that part as a problem but other than that, I can't recall any, hopefully it's a good thing that I can't recall any.

Of course I agree with your statement that the thing that should be prioritized more is to have a job that can really earn and has a promising certainty like maybe a general job that most people often do, you need money to continue living while on the other hand if you only rely on winnings from gambling it is too impossible, I understand you can win once in a while but the problem is that you will never know when you will win and what if when you need money but you lose your gambling? That's why it's important to have a main job in addition to your gambling habit and never make gambling as a place to earn, however it is difficult to do with all the randomness that exists in the gambling system.

So management should really be considered for the sake of financial balance, make it a habit to always put only small amounts on gambling without putting any expectations so that you do not suffer from problems from the adverse effects of gambling on your finances. Honestly for myself I always divide my time with many other things, such as playing with friends, family gatherings or doing part-time jobs, the point is you must have a time limit for gambling, not too often and by adding many other activities it will make your mind distracted.

[Rabata]

Many of us have this problem due to lack of proper knowledge regarding gambling. For some, when gambling goes to uncontrolled levels, it hurts a gambler in the same way for a long time. But for those who try to understand the purpose of gambling, it becomes a pleasure rather than a pain. And for this the point to be emphasized is to manage the gambling within a limit.

There are times when it becomes difficult for a gambler to take a break from gambling. But those who can take a break during that time can survive in gambling. If I am faced with such a situation I would definitely prefer to hang out there temporarily with my other friends who do not gamble. But I don't believe in changing the location because all the benefits of gambling are available anywhere due to online facility.

If you can gamble responsibly by being able to control everything properly from money, time and actions then it is not a problem, because gambling should only be done as entertainment and should not be done excessively, because if we gamble If we overdo it, it's likely that we will have big and serious problems, and now we can see that there are many out there who gamble excessively, which makes them addicted to gambling, which is clearly detrimental to themselves.

gamble with a set budget and be disciplined with the time to gamble, where we know the limit to stop gambling, when you lose it is better to leave gambling, and when you win there is no better choice than to cash it out and go to enjoy the win. Also, most people who have problems with gambling are because of their own reckless actions in doing it, by daring to take risks but in reality they cannot accept the loss.

That's what many gamblers need to realize so that they don't force themselves too hard to make money from gambling. If there is such awareness, they will only use gambling as a means of getting pleasure and not to make money.

And if they can keep themselves busy by doing other hobbies or other activities, they will not gamble too often because they have other things to do. When they realize that they really have to reduce their gambling activities, they will do it more seriously because they also realize the dangers of gambling for them. These are the people who can get rid of the problems that exist within them and can use gambling as entertainment.

That's correct, people need to realize that winning in gambling is very rare and we need to be lucky enough to win multiple time with huge winning amount. Based on my observation, when a person wins in a gambling, they tend to gamble more because They have already made it clear that it is possible to win in the game. They hope to win the next few games, but that is not the case because we have this thing called beginners luck, right?
 Even if they keep themselves busy by doing other activities, it will lessen their time in gambling but we can't just let people take away gambling, especially if they are really used to doing it in their daily lives.

Getting a win just once requires luck, especially when discussing winning many times. It requires a lot of luck and must be on our side. Unfortunately, it won't be as easy as we imagine because no one can force luck always to come when we gamble, so we can't always gamble. And it is true what you said that if someone can win, they will tend to continue gambling because they still hope to get the next win. I also experienced this, and sometimes I still experience it when I gamble, and it is a normal thing that happens to many people. That's the point for us to learn self-control so that we can stop our gambling activities after winning so that we won't experience another loss after winning. We really can't prevent someone from gambling because it depends on their wishes, and we only give them advice on where they should choose while they know the risks if they continue gambling.

It's true that a lack of knowledge sometimes makes gamblers unable to think clearly and behave rashly, they experience problems with themselves that make it difficult to control themselves when they get to know gambling. If they know the concept of gambling of course they can think more rationally that gambling is a means of entertainment and not used as a means of making money, for those who already understand what gambling is, they will not experience problems regarding gambling because they can control it.

It depends on the gambler, if they are addicted, it will be difficult for them to take a break from gambling, but if someone is not addicted, it will be easy for them to stop gambling. But if you only have 1 circle of friends who gamble, where will you avoid it?? In my opinion, the environment is number 1. Even if you hang out with people who don't gamble, but if you still want to do it, you can do it via cellphone, namely online gambling, and vice versa, if you hang out with gambling friends but you don't have the desire to gamble then you can still control it.

It's true, just stay away from casinos and people who invite you back to gambling. indeed, online gambling can be a means to reduce addiction. but if its use is not measured, online gambling addiction can also occur. even with easy access starting from the gambling site itself and easy financial access via cellphones, it will be difficult to control not to make deposits when you lose.

If they can stay away from casinos and from people who encourage them to gamble again, they can really prevent themselves from gambling again. But the problem is that this is unlikely because those who have experienced gambling games will remember every moment they experienced and that is what makes them come back. However, if they have good self-control, they can prevent that from happening to them and say no to people who invite them to gamble again. Problems with gambling only occur in people who cannot control themselves well so they can be tempted to gamble again at another time. If he really knew what his weaknesses were, he would not let that happen and would always exercise self-control so as not to return to gambling. Online gambling can indeed make people return to gambling because people can access online casinos from their smartphones easily.

I once had a share of that kind of experience when I was addicted to online games where they put some gambling features and everyone seemed happy playing but eventually realized that it was a trap where they were just wasting their money for nothing because the Gotcha was meant to be like that, it was purposely put in the games to make them spend a lot of money and get some rare items which will not last longer than 1 month because another one will come and stronger than last time. The loop will continue for years and eventually, you will just realize that you are being fooled by their actions because you won't gonna get what you want to be but only to lose your money to them.

This is the same in gambling where you just continue playing even though you are losing so much and many gamblers cannot control themselves due to the fact that they are addicted to playing and they don't mind what tomorrow will bring. So they will only stop when they left with nothing and that's when they realized they took the wrong path to spend their money.

such events do occur. and the fault is of course the gambler himself. he knows the risk of defeat that is being played. But why can't gamblers control themselves not to continue playing when they experience a losing streak? Addiction is probably the main reason because it makes a gambler lose control. Addicted gamblers will never think about winning. what they are looking for is satisfaction in playing for a longer time. and this is also a problem for gamblers who do not think logically to immediately leave the game after winning.

Regret always comes at the end, never at the beginning, that's why it's important to always limit your budget and time when gambling. I apply this to overcome my gambling problem, which is sometimes always greedy, playing beyond limits and recklessly, learning from every defeat so as not to lose a lot of money. because there are so many gambling addicts who go bankrupt and fall into poverty, they only realize it when they feel like they have nothing.

If we have budget and time limits, of course we can know when to gamble and when to stop gambling because that's what can make me overcome my gambling problem which looks very bad and maybe this method can also help other people to overcome their gambling problems. The point is, don't really lose all your money and have nothing and then realize it because up until now, regret has always come at the end, never at the beginning.

Actually gambling does not require any knowledge but it is dependent totally on luck because a person puts a bet irregulary without realising anything. There should be limitations in every field whether it's gambling or other thing because if something become uncontrolled then it is converted into toxic habits which should be reduced.

There are times when it becomes difficult for a gambler to take a break from gambling. But those who can take a break during that time can survive in gambling. If I am faced with such a situation I would definitely prefer to hang out there temporarily with my other friends who do not gamble.

One should keep control through changing his mind instead of changing a location because location cannot put a control on your gambling but your mind can help you therefore don't change location due to fear of becoming addicted towards gambling but put some other thoughts in minds for altering the habit of gambling addiction.

Once one becomes addicted to gambling, it is very difficult to come back from it. As money comes through gambling, people get greedy. You know greed is sin and sin is death. Actually winning at gambling requires a lot of concentration, if you somehow able to set limits on both of your time n budget when rolling slots then it will debunk a smart direction to managing your gambling activity. Recognizing the potential for greed and reckless behavior and proactively learning from defeat are important steps in overcoming gambling problems. n order to avoid financial losses, it is important to pay attention and play within the limits of gambling. It is best to get control of this habit while there is time to avoid regret later.

If you don't participate in gambling I don't have any reason why you should hang out with gamblers, they can only be comfortable with you when you have already gambled and they believe that you quit gambling because of challenges you already faced and I believe that for someone to quit gambling one or two things is involved in it, so therefore I believe that gambling is not everyone who is a beneficiary of gambling and I know quite well that the beneficiary of gambling will not think otherwise or contrary to quit a gambling whereas is a beneficiary of gambling, so many of us declined gambling when they seem that nothing is coming out in it again maybe they have gamble consistently and nothing good is in gambling again.

[Hirose UK]

We certainly know what curiosity is and of course this is not only related to curiosity but also addiction.
Anyone who is addicted to gambling will never be able to stop even though they have experienced various consecutive defeats.
Losing can lead gamblers to experience worse things, they try to recover from their losses and in the end all the money they have is gone, but it doesn't end here because there is sense of revenge so that they can win the bet later.
We have all experienced conditions like this and of course we can think back that what we experienced was the same as what is happening to gamblers out there.

It just that different things will happen for those gamblers who are willing to accept defeat, they can stop when they lose in row and accept all the defeats that have occurred.
However, we will not find many gamblers who can have this kind of attitude.

Unfortunately people often decide to deny they have a problem, and only recognize this is the case when it is impossible for them to deny it any longer.

But by the time they make this admission the road ahead of them has become incredibly difficult, not only because leaving behind an addiction is difficult, but also because many of those that could have helped them may have given up on them, thinking they are never going to change their ways and prefer to not be part of their lives anymore.

Its true they only wan't to make change when they have experience difficulties, but I'm pretty sure once they got back up they will return to that state, gambling is really hard to pass for those who been their for long time, but if you really want to change you should have plan, since you can't change everything in one day, its a long process.
