Who does gambling addiction affect the most?

[Peanutswar]

It depends on how the gambler handles the different possible situations most likely in gambling of course, the person who will be affected first is the player because they have experience with the possible impact of in different games, excessive gambling and mistakes during their playtime, next is the people surround to them because once they get a negative effect like having a mood swings, anxiety with their games, and stress if their family would like to approach them, possible the negative energy passes to them might cause trouble and misunderstanding. If you are a gambler who can't handle those things I guess that's the time you would stop and take a break if you are still in a good condition or not because other people might affect with your actions.

[Litzki1990]

Anything in excess is not good for our life. I have also seen people who have gone mad due to over-education. Gambling already has a bad effect on the life of some people and if that person becomes addicted to gambling and gambles a lot then this bad habit is undoubtedly very harmful to his life. Due to his bad habits he is not only suffering but he is also causing a lot of damage to his family. Due to his excessive gambling habit, the family is tensed about him and the family is unable to lead a normal life. Gambling is fine for us when the game is played by a gambler at regular intervals but whenever a gambler becomes too addicted to it he is harming his life wasting time and money. Gambling should be played in such a way that the gambling does not control us but that the gambling controls us.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

        -    We can no longer gamble that what we do will be the most affected by what we do, that other people will be affected first; there is no such thing. Of course, good or bad, the result we will face in gambling will be the first to affect and feel it.

So if anyone experiences something good here in gambling that is a big win, we will be the first to experience and feel it because we ourselves made the decision to make it happen. The same goes for the opposite, which can also happen, of course.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

Gambling should be played in such a way that the gambling does not control us but that the gambling controls us.

I believe that what you intended typing here is "Gambling should be played in such a way that the gambling does not control us but that we control the gambling". We should be in total control of whatever choices we make and whatever things we get involved in. Gambling is a voice made by everyone that engages in it, nobody is a born gambler, our gambling habits is a reflection of our choices and our rate of responsibility or irresponsibility ass the case may be.  Gambling addiction is a display of irresponsibility by gamblers and the fact that your family is being victimized because of your gambling choices increases the measure of your irresponsibility.

The deprivation that the family faces, especially the children creates resentment in their minds and the build up rather quickly until they completely hate the parent for the negligence on their part. Gambling addicts in this category doesn't have good relationships with their children and that may possibly lead to the children abandoning that parent and never wanting anything to do with them. Such gambler suffers great loneliness at old age (that's if they ever get old) and only few of them ever gets the chance of reconciling with their families.

[klidex]

in most cases, it is usually the family that is most affected because they are the people closest to the addict, especially if the addict is the head of the household, it may have a direct effect on their children where they see firsthand how their parents might fight or how their household was destroyed because of this.

gambling addiction is quite a serious problem considering that it may have mental and emotional effects on the people closest to the addict, because they have to see how their family is destroyed because of it and this could lead to trauma, broken relationships, and various other family problems.

It's true that the family is the person most affected apart from the addict himself. Those who are married and head of the family are certainly role models for their children and their wives, but if they become gambling addicts and like to do trouble, they do things that are out of control and easily emotional. This will definitely spread to his family and in most cases there will be domestic violence where a family head commits violence against his children and wife to vent his anger because he always loses due to gambling.

It is true that gambling addiction is a serious problem for most people, especially for those who are married because it will cause the breakdown of the household and it is not impossible that it will end in divorce due to the addiction which will cause the destruction of the household and children who experience this problem will definitely have an impact on his psychology and becomes a broken home.

Yes, gambling must be controlled by us so that we don't lose self-control when gambling. Many people end up losing control of themselves, which causes them to become addicted to gambling. This must be taken seriously so that we can reduce the level of desire to gamble and also not use gambling beyond its limits. We are the ones who choose to gamble, so we should be able to be responsible in gambling so that we don't experience problems with losing money or getting addicted to gambling. If we can gamble responsibly, we will not cause problems for our families, especially as our children will not follow us in gambling.

Children will experience the hardest consequences of gambling because apart from seeing their parents gambling, they are also likely to see their parents separating or divorcing because of the problems triggered by gambling. It is not gambling that is wrong, but the person is at fault because they have used gambling excessively, causing them to experience difficulties in their lives. These children will experience emotional disturbances because they may also see violence occurring in their house, especially when their parents lose at gambling and blame everything on the people in their house.

[redsun114]

When you say family, you mean his wife and children or you mean his parents. If a married person is an addicted gambler, I think he is going to affect his wife and will affect his children as well because the children are going to view gambling as a bad thing. They will never see gambling as good thing because the only person they look upto has lost it and the wife might even manipulate them just to save them from following the path of their dad not to become a gambler. As for the finances, the family as a whole are going to be affected because they might even struggle to eat because addiction makes one foolish.

As for a person that is not married, as in a single man might only feel the financial instability, the parent will only feel like they lost a precious person to gambling and that's all except if he is a person that take care of their financial billings and I guess a responsible person will not go beyond his limit to become an addicted gambler, that is even why the casino do warn people to gamble responsibly.

In most cases, people that get addicted to gambling are often independent which means that they earn a living and aren't dependent on someone else like their parents. Such a person could be married, have kids, or be a single, unmarried person who is working. As you said, someone who is married and gets addicted to gambling will see their addiction affecting their immediate family which is the wife and the children because he is the sole provider of the family and they are surely going to suffer if the provider is spending all the money on gambling.

A gambling addict who is single but independent will have all the consequences of the addiction on themselves because they are doing everything for themselves. A person who is dependent on their parents can barely get enough money to feed their addiction, so even if they start gambling, they will always have a limited amount to spend on their gambling activities.

[bakasabo]

When people see how others make money from gambling, how they win millions or easily increase their deposit in a short time, then those people are the first victims of addiction. People who are greatly dependable from money - first one to get addicted. Those who gamble for fun, most likely wont get addicted, as they can switch to something other to get fun. Once again, most weak, unprotected stratum of the population are affected most.

[Docnaster]

You have got an opinion that's similar to mine. Whenever we take decisions that ended up hurting us, the first person who's gonna be affected by the consequences of our actions must be us in particular before any other person around us can feel the negative impact and gambling addiction is not exempted from that.

When a gambler decides to not to take the precautions that'll keep him in check and not make him become an addict and eventually becomes a gambling addict, he'll definitely be affected most by the negative impacts that comes with gambling addiction.

If the gambler is the breadwinner of his family, they'll also feel the direct impact but that doesn't mean that they're not gonna survive without him no matter how important he is in providing for the needs of the family. In as much as we advice gamblers to be responsible in their gambling activities in other not to lose focus and become addicts, it worthy to note that the person who's very likely to be affected by the effects of gambling addiction is the concerned person

I think the group in question is beginners in gambling, because they are very susceptible to being influenced by what they see from people who often win big at gambling, even though what they see is not necessarily true when they see a gambling influencer and streamer for example who collaborates. with gambling sites most of them only display wins and broadcast them to the public and the groups that watch them are the first to start to end up addicted to gambling because they are obsessed with winning big like them.

If only they were beginners who considered gambling as just entertainment, perhaps they would not be addicted to gambling and ultimately have an impact on the people closest to them including their family because of their gambling addiction, no one can be blamed for gambling, what should be blamed is the misuse of the gambler, isn't gambling created for entertainment for rich people but many poor people look for luck there but instead become addicted to gambling.

It's difficult to advise beginners and this weak group because basically what they see is easy, big wins with millions of money, of course it makes them feel confident that they can get it too as a gambler. even though it is a fake win, people should understand one thing that it is not easy to make money in gambling, lol

They would use famous influencers to gather an audience and would be interested in gambling, I mean we can't blame the influencer because work is work, advertising any kind of marketing as long as you are getting paid you would go for it. Still, it is where most people getting hook up in gambling by seeing false advertisements. I think everyone are aware of how bad the influence of gambling can affect the life of a person, it is already the norm that we know about. I think it is not already about the mindset they have that gambling is easy money to reach millions, but they lack the self-control and manage their emotion cause they already know gambling is based on luck, even for beginners they already knew. Still, they keep continuing since they don't have risk management that can limit themselves.

[borovichok]

Those who gamble for fun, most likely won't get addicted, as they can switch to something other to get fun.

I hold a contrary opinion. Addiction comes from doing something repeatedly. And so as long as someone gambles often either for fun or money the person becomes addicted. The difference is that an addictive gambler who gambles for entertainment will not create problems for himself or the people around him since he always gets happiness doing it. But then, a person who became addicted to gambling because of the quest to make mega money can easily be frustrated and turn to committing social vices which can create emotional and mental imbalance.

Different games create different feelings. You cannot get the same feelings by doing different things. For instance, the fun you get from gambling will be different from the fun you get by attending music concerts and that is why people who get greater fun from gambling will always continue to gamble. Thus, addiction becomes inevitable.

It is imperative to note that not all addiction creates negativity and so not all addictive gamblers are problematic.

That is the dependants. Yes those that depends on the addicts for money are likely to be the worst hit because they will need money and if the addict is not winning to provide for them then they will suffer. However, the addict will also be affected because they are the first hit of their inability to win and usually those that depend on someone for money may feel the heat of not getting the money if the provide pretend not to have the money but if genuinely the money isn't available then the provider will feel the effects more, in this case the addict will feel it if he is not winning.

The truth still remains that, those that depends on an addicts for money and life sustannace are most at risk, this is because once someone become uncontrollably addicted to things that takes money from they pocket like gambling it becomes hard for them to hold money for any other thing, and my advice to dependant is to stop depending on others because even a none addicts can't even be depended on talk more of someone who is already addicted to gambling, so if I am looking fpr the person who is mostly effected by act of gambling addictions, my mind will Alway go first to the person himself.

Because the victim are the worst hit before any other person, around him, this is why it we mostly preach against sliding I to addictions at some point because it ruin it victims life.

For me things are very clear, game addiction primarily affects the person who is addicted, because it is the person who originates everything, and it affects them even more if that person does not Admit that they have a problem, if that person does not admit that , well obviously things are going to go very badly for them, in this order of ideas we have to assume that the first one who does everything to make things very Difficult will be the affected person, obviously after this if the person has family, if you have children, then you will see that the next affected will be your family, when they see that things are missing and that they are not immediately replaced by new ones, since things are quite strong, because how will you be able to carry what Is it needed? lend money? Do whatever it takes so that he can generate new items? That's what everyone should see, we are people who will always assume things as they are, if in this case we can't do much, because the affected person has to seek help Immediately , at Least so that they don't lose everything they have left,  Don't even go crazy making loans to banks or making loans to friends.

Things with Addicts can affect many people and the longer it lasts and the worse it will be, so these things must be attacked very quickly so that they can Quickly get out of that problem , it is very tiring that a person for not controlling themselves During the game becomes You become addicted and then you have no way to respond to your personal obligations, it is something that makes no sense at all to do, in my opinion I will always say something , you have to think about doing things better, a person who is addicted is totally guilty, That person's, it's not Anyone else's, it's her , it's not the casino, it's not anyone's, we have to be responsible enough to admit things as they are, that's why we must always do things better, to avoid this kind of Unpleasant stuff.

Isnt the thing that someone does repeatedly is called a habit? For example I always brush teeth twice a day. This doesnt mean that I am addicted to brushing teeth. Addiction is a bit different thing that doing something repeatedly. If we add "always thinking about something" to "doing repeatedly", then it will be a good definition of addiction. I brush teeth twice a day and always think about brushing more.

If we get back on topic, then people who are short of money and often speak about where to get more of them (dependable from money), are most affected by gambling addiction.

I believe that what you intended typing here is "Gambling should be played in such a way that the gambling does not control us but that we control the gambling". We should be in total control of whatever choices we make and whatever things we get involved in. Gambling is a voice made by everyone that engages in it, nobody is a born gambler, our gambling habits is a reflection of our choices and our rate of responsibility or irresponsibility ass the case may be.  Gambling addiction is a display of irresponsibility by gamblers and the fact that your family is being victimized because of your gambling choices increases the measure of your irresponsibility.

The deprivation that the family faces, especially the children creates resentment in their minds and the build up rather quickly until they completely hate the parent for the negligence on their part. Gambling addicts in this category doesn't have good relationships with their children and that may possibly lead to the children abandoning that parent and never wanting anything to do with them. Such gambler suffers great loneliness at old age (that's if they ever get old) and only few of them ever gets the chance of reconciling with their families.

Yes, gambling must be controlled by us so that we don't lose self-control when gambling. Many people end up losing control of themselves, which causes them to become addicted to gambling.

Children will experience the hardest consequences of gambling because apart from seeing their parents gambling, they are also likely to see their parents separating or divorcing because of the problems triggered by gambling. It is not gambling that is wrong, but the person is at fault because they have used gambling excessively, causing them to experience difficulties in their lives. These children will experience emotional disturbances because they may also see violence occurring in their house, especially when their parents lose at gambling and blame everything on the people in their house.

Indeed, it won't be a sound encounter for the growing children. Coming from a family where the head is addicted. What then would be the fate of the child. Not all the children will get addicted or follow the ways of their father, but it'll be a hard experience on the end of the child. As he'll think bad of gambling and those thoughts could affect the brain of the child. I could remember a thread of a guy angry over what happened to his addicted father. He in the thread, wasn't addicted, but he has no reason to give gambling a chance one bit. He may have taken the best choice, most people would say, but on the long run it's bad to hate an activity dreadfully. Not saying it's his fault, no. The father is the bad player and has proven himself an irresponsible gambler, for making his family hate gambling because of him.

This era should be the best time for parents who engage in gambling, to fight for the wellbeing of their children. To make sure they don't get addicted into gambling, or understand what gambling is about, and not have hatred on gambling. Following the trend, and how fast the gambling industry is growing, most family will have at least two gamblers, and a society a few more gambling addicts. This can be controlled with the help of the society, making a strict rule against problem gambling. So, that the kids growing up would know what's in for them if they ever get addicted in Gambling. Addiction is quietly disturbing the growth of the society's economy. Addicted players should be looked into and helped out of their struggles.

That is why a gambler must be responsible. A responsible person who acts must think before acting and then act. Gambling may be man made but many times it is seen that many people get addicted to this man made site. We understand that addiction is bad. There are many differences between a gambling addict and a responsible gambler. When you become addicted to gambling, you will make one wrong decision after another when it comes to gambling. Gambling cannot be done without money and if one wrong decision is made in gambling, the gambler will suffer financially. If a boy of insufficient age knows about gambling then it is more likely that he will become addicted to gambling because at that time he will not be able to make any decision with conscience but will do what he thinks is best.  Gambling responsibly after adulthood will not bring any harm to the gambler at all. So before gambling we should be responsible first so that we have control over gambling.

[reagansimms]

The first person affected by gambling addiction is the gambler himself, gambling addicts can do anything to continue gambling, this action can reduce the quality of life due to easy lying behavior and can even commit criminal acts. His family will also be affected by his gambling addiction because of his unstable emotions. Emotional disorders can change at any time, especially when you are losing, the defeat he experiences will make him feel annoyed and may even harm family members to release his anger.

Gamblers must be able to control and have a sense of responsibility for their gambling habits by maintaining their status as head of the family. The temperamental attitude shown by gamblers can damage children's mental health and also disrupt family finances due to not being able to support their children and wife.

Children will experience the hardest impact because apart from experiencing mental disorders, they may also experience other bad things. Meanwhile, his family members will also experience the impact where they will be angry with their family members who have become addicted to gambling and do things that are not good for their children. These children who should be able to enjoy their childhood and adolescence must experience bad things which will make them depressed and irritable because they have seen the anger of their father who lost at gambling. They will have a rapid change in attitude that the people around them will not notice.

Yes, parents should focus more on guiding their children because it is easy to get information from the internet, which can be misused by their children. If their parents are addicted to gambling, their children will have no one to guide them, and it is possible that their children will take the wrong path where no one will be able to supervise them. If they have already taken the wrong path, this will continue until they are adults, and it is not impossible that their children will get involved in criminal things that they should not do. And before that happens, parents should immediately realize their mistake and carry out the healing process from their gambling addiction so that they can recover quickly for the sake of their family and their growing children.
