Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss

Even though you say that, as far as I know, the most serious risks and dangers for those who are addicted to online gambling, one of the most dangerous risks is financial loss, apart from health or violence as you mentioned, for me the risk of financial loss such as property, spending large amounts of money is more terrifying.

Apart from that, financial losses in gambling Stress, disturbing sleep, fatigue, risk of heart disease, family risk, causing conflict which can lead to divorce, risk of crime which has an impact in terms of risk of financial loss, my understanding is more.

But all these factors cannot be separated from gambling addiction, in essence the effects of addiction cause greater financial losses, both have a high level of dangerous risk.

Gambling addiction is indeed a disease that cannot be separated from gambling, that's why there must be limits when playing gambling so that you don't get addicted to gambling, financial losses and losses from being an addict are both connected and related, so one of the most important things to highlight is gambling addiction compared to financial losses. This is because people who are addicted to gambling not only lose financially, they can even lose time and other things, including losing their family, which is also one of the things that is most often encountered.

There are many things that make gambling addiction very detrimental, therefore, always limit your budget when gambling so as not to exceed the limit when gambling, this is often emphasized to everyone that never get addicted to gambling. If you want to gamble, make sure you gamble with money that is ready. To be eliminated, the most important thing is to have a healthier mindset, for example considering gambling as entertainment, nothing more than that, sometimes people are addicted to gambling because they are too obsessed with winning and never enjoy the gambling game itself. Another thing that I think is detrimental is that gamblers don't really enjoy their gambling, so they are more easily addicted to gambling because they aim to increase their finances but instead it ends up harming their finances.

Gambling addiction has many negative impacts on family, social and personal life. The changes in behavior shown by gambling addicts are very clear, they prefer to be angry and easily carried away by emotions and commit other violence and it is not uncommon for them to commit domestic violence. Whether violence against their wives or children as a result of their gambling. They suffer more and more losses, there are no addicts gambling that can recover their losses, the more they chase losses, the more they will face bankruptcy, economic damage and not being able to manage their money well due to their addiction.

The points you mentioned above are true points experienced by gambling addicts, when they are married then they are role models for their children. If their parents are gambling addicts then a child grows up following in his father's wrong footsteps and the same goes for his health because Gambling addiction can slowly damage a person's mental state and when they are no longer able to bear the burden, gambling addicts can usually do things out of control, such as committing suicide, because that is the only way their problem can be resolved.

Not only in every family but also in other religious beliefs, they think gambling is actually bad. Gambling is not only bad for gamblers who gamble in casinos, whether online or offline, in the field of gambling business.

But there are other gamblers who do not become addicts because they are able to manage themselves correctly in these situations, just as they do not allow themselves to become addicted or get addicted to their personalities as gamblers.

Here we are preaching self-control and boundaries alongside gambling. Gambling isn't a local game. It's a beast that eats hopes and dreams without regard to your finances. Think you're in charge? The first indicator you're not. Losing is the game, not just part of it. Remember the house always wins? You think you can beat the odds. Math—not hope—is the issue. You lose more as you play. That's reality, not pessimism

If you must gamble, set limits.  Set a loss limit (because you will lose) and stick to it. No exceptions. You leave when that limit is reached. No second chances, "just one more game." That's how you maintain control in a takeover system

[Unbunplease]

It all depends on the degree of gambling addiction. When it is too great, there is almost no chance of final winnings, as the player will continue betting regardless of the size of the winnings as long as he remains conscious. This is why psychological treatment is necessary for overly addicted gamblers.

Self control and moderation would really be always the key on which we do know that this isnt something that not everyone could be able to do so and this is why we do see different conditions on which a certain individual do able to have basing into their actions towards gambling on which some of them have been able to control themselves but most of them had wrecked out their lives because of it.
There's no really that have an issue on playing gambling on which as long you do make yourself that having moderation when it comes to spending and on the time you are really that dealing on with
then it should be just fine. Further negative impacts would really be just that coming out on the time that you would really be making yourself addicted but if its not then
you are just still on safe line.

[bitpotter]

When we as gamblers can control ourselves, then nothing will happen to us, financially or in our social life.
we must know the time to gamble. we have to know the allocation that we can bet on. we must know when we continue or leave the game.
those who become very bad because of gambling are obviously because they are obsessed with winning. they lose control and forget all boundaries.

The most dangerous thing is that you are obsessed with winning and when you chase it you end up spending a lot of money. We can't blame it because everyone's emotional level is different and if a gambler finds it difficult to suppress it then he will only lose more money. There is a need to anticipate this with the right allocation of funds and I agree with you. There is no need to rush when gambling and if it gets too deep it will be difficult to change.

If it is not managed well, the gambling activities we carry out will become dangerous activities and carry a high risk of financial losses and other losses. When someone is addicted to gambling, it reflects their inability to control themselves and their emotions when gambling, they play chaotically and often act impulsively to the point of making wrong betting decisions which makes them lose even more.

A gambling addict has poor emotional control and mental health, so that when they continuously experience fatigue and run out of capital to continue gambling, they will try to look for other things so that their emotions, disappointment and anger can be vented. And quite a few gambling addicts take it all out on their families, which could lead to acts of domestic violence. And quite a few of them are gambling addicts who turn to criminal acts, such as robbing money and other actions that can harm many people. and they do this in order to get some money so they can satisfy their lust for gambling and take revenge for the losses they suffered previously.

that for me i believe is the very reason why it is not good to live with a gambling addict. because it is the immediate family who will suffer the consequences of what the gambler is acting owed to his addiction. if it is only the gambler, that's fine. but if he has small kids relying on him, that's when a lot of troubles will come in.

Whether you are married or not, gambling addiction is still bad and has tremendous negative impacts, which can destroy a person's life and future. And don't think that if you are not married and have children, you don't have more responsibilities. Both those who are married and those who are not, both have the same responsibilities, only the proportions are different. Before marriage, he will be responsible for himself and his future. Meanwhile, someone who is married has responsibilities not only to themselves but also to their family and children who are also related to the welfare of their family.

Therefore, so that the gambling we do does not become a bomberang on ourselves and our families who could become victims. So we should be able to protect ourselves from the negative impacts of gambling. That is, by gambling responsibly, viewing gambling as a form of entertainment, only gambling after your needs have been met and after completing tasks and work. So that the gambling we do does not become an inhibiting factor in our life balance and productivity.

[Dewi Aries]

At least you can limit yourself from excessive addiction to gambling. However, if the boundaries were higher or thicker, wouldn't that be even better?
so that later gambling addiction will be reduced. You can gamble calmly if your playing mentality is strong.

Yes applying some boundaries and also self-control is indeed an approach that is always suggested in gambling, I will never get tired of saying this to anyone especially some of my friends who also gamble, because humans always cannot avoid the name "forgetting" due to emotions that dominate because of something like losing and this idea or suggestion will at least be able to help them to remember that precautions are much more important when you are involved in gambling.

Doing or applying higher or strong and firm limits is definitely better, as you said that this way we will be able to gamble more calmly and avoid the possibility of addiction, but unfortunately it is a fact that only a few people can have this kind of mindset that leads to preventive measures because they are always focused on winning opportunities so it is difficult to limit their gambling activities.

Maybe it's also very important for us to invite our own friends or relatives who are also gamblers. because if we weren't friends who were both gamblers, they would immediately tell us to stop gambling. 
not to support each other in betting, but rather to remind us that we have exceeded the limits we have previously set. and vice versa, when our friend is betting, we also have to remind him if he has crossed the limit.
So apart from controlling ourselves, and sometimes even though we are very good and still forget, we need someone's help to remind us of that.

I think this is more than important, because after all gambling is an activity that involves risk and on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty for us to be able to win and also this is one of the reasons why we really need to apply some restrictions as a way of prevention, and on the other hand yes of course it is ridiculous if you tell advice like this to someone especially a friend who does not like or even never gambles, this is out of context and how can we advise something like this to those who are not gamblers.

Yes because there is nothing wrong with remembering each other and this is something that I think should be done to fellow gamblers because after all this advice leads to something better, and another thing is to try not to gamble alone and it is better to ask one of your friends to accompany your gambling session because then at least there is someone who can remind you when you are being instigated by emotions due to defeat because what usually happens is that you will act out of control when emotions overtake you and this makes you suffer a greater amount of defeat, On the other hand, as I said earlier, humans cannot fully maintain the plans they have made and in addition there are so many temptations in gambling that this is very likely to make you eventually fall into forgetting the limits you have made before.

Rushing when gambling is like chasing the wind, where the player wouldn't have anything to show for his time spent gambling. The aim of gambling is somehow, but not limited to relaxation. There are other meaningful rewards one could get in gambling, that is not about winning, alone. Gamblers, some, find it hard to accept the fact that the financial loss getting out of hand can be a way to getting addicted.  When addicted the gambler may now be in strict medications and therapy session, due to the harm addiction has caused to his health. The finances chased when gambling wouldn't stay for a long period, but the trauma and emotional stress will definitely leave an unforgettable mark in the brain of the person. Hence, it's important that gamblers begin to see beyond winning, but what losses could cause them in their gambling journey.

When one first sees gambling as a primary means of making some good money, such individuals are likely to get obsessed with gambling and would continually bet more and more money in the hopes of winning it big someday. Such individuals self control in the long run, would have been weakened so much that gambling would be what’s majorly going though his mind most of the time he’s awake.

When one has got a steady source of income, there would be little to no motivation to look to gambling as a source of making an income.
Financial loss from gotten from excessive and irresponsible gambling would likely bring down and crash whatever stable life you’ve taken ages to build.

Well I don't know how they do class the levels of addicted persons but what I do understand is that the craziness of the gambler do increases when the amount of money he is exposed to also increases because at some point his aim and target will certainly be above what he is getting on steady and that's when the greed comes in play because the more you get the more you will always want to have and some of these gambling take this habit of their and face it on their gambling and the results is just something that you wouldn't be proud of if you were actually close to the addicted person.

Decrease in overall productivity of individual: Addiction reduces the value that you add to wherever you are engaged career wise as you are mostly distracted with gambling thereby reducing your commitment and dedication to your duties, this might significantly reduce the overall company productivity and lead to job loss.

health Challenges: A gambling addict is always under pressure and tension and as such is prone to health challenges like high blood pressure, depression, and on the part of his people, they might be suffering from the psychological implications of his lifestyle which includes social stigma.

violence : most gambling addicts are prone to violent behaviors owing to anger issues from much losses and this might greatly affect his relationship with his immediate family and people around him who might start seeing him as a wild animal.

your contributions are very much welcome as we learn together the many demerits of gambling addiction to inform both those currently addicted and intending addicts of the dangers of that irrational lifestyle.

Sure, it can indirectly cause these or lead to these problems, but not necessarily. In short: Every gambling addict is different, not all gambling addicts are violent for example. Stress alone should be pretty severe to cause high blood pressure. It's caused by wrong nutrition, and obesity way more than that. That said, stress is never good for you.

And there are different levels in any addiction. Many addicts are highly functional and can keep on doing productive work and successful social life. We just rarely hear about them, as as their negative behavior, what ever kind that is, is not seen by anyone close to them. Any kind of addiction is always taxing from something in our life, but sometimes it's just a vice, that has replaced even worse vice, like smoking.

Now i sound like i am taking addiction lightly. That's not my point. My point is that those symptoms you are listing are over simplifying.

I a gree with you. The typical person is of course different, their temperament, disease and all its forms are influenced by each person's own pattern, and gambling is only related to this.

Of course there are many causes of disease, lifestyle and diet are very influential, gambling may only be a flavoring. Then regarding violence or criminal acts, of course this is influenced by a person's temperament. If a gambling addict is a psychopath, can it be said that gambling causes symptoms and even makes a person a psychopath?

I just want to convey this rationally, we as humans often associate things carelessly and based on preconceived desires without further research.

Decrease in overall productivity of individual: Addiction reduces the value that you add to wherever you are engaged career wise as you are mostly distracted with gambling thereby reducing your commitment and dedication to your duties, this might significantly reduce the overall company productivity and lead to job loss.

This is absolutely true. If you are addicted, the only thing that matters to you at that very moment is a moment with you and the casino, a plan to go and gamble, spend, and lose money, which your mind won't focus on in this life, and even if you are a worker, at that moment you might end up losing your job as the things of the office will no longer matter to the person.
 
Addiction is not just a good thing any way we want to look at it; it will always want to ruin your life, no matter how we want to put it.

There are so many negative sides to gambling addiction, but sometimes it's not as bad as we think if we can control ourselves. Usually the gambling addict has felt pleasure from the gambling winnings he got so he keeps thinking it's so easy to get it, he's lulled by the pleasure and hope to get it back, the very sad thing for gambling addicts is that when bankruptcy occurs, there is not much to hope for when we go bankrupt even relatives will walk away

Are there good things about gambling? Yes. I support gambling responsibly. But when to know when you cross from responsible gambling to irresponsible gambling. I think we should start emphazing more on the positives about gambling than on the negatives. Have talked about it here  gambling is not a bad thing and it is not a good thing. It is defined based on the experiences of other people. For one, gambling helps with socialization. I think it helps with social anxiety. Gambling in my estimation if done not as a form of escapism can help fight bored, help with relaxation if done with the right intention. The only people who will experience the pain of financial loss are those with the wrong mindset about gambling.

Gambling addiction has been known to be associated with serious funds loss, bankruptcy, unsettled loan involvements, properties auctioning and other irritable financial behaviors that depicts frustration and desperations from the victims.
A little more observation shows clearly other effects of such addiction to just not the addict alone, but those around them, be it friends, family or neighbors. Here are a few of them:

Negative impression on children/ dependents: His addiction can corrupt the good intentions of the younger generation looking up to him for inspiration, they may grow up to see gambling as a way of life and follow the wrong footprints.

Decrease in overall productivity of individual: Addiction reduces the value that you add to wherever you are engaged career wise as you are mostly distracted with gambling thereby reducing your commitment and dedication to your duties, this might significantly reduce the overall company productivity and lead to job loss.

health Challenges: A gambling addict is always under pressure and tension and as such is prone to health challenges like high blood pressure, depression, and on the part of his people, they might be suffering from the psychological implications of his lifestyle which includes social stigma.

I say true to this. The fact of the matter is that when you're down in your luck and you lost a lot of money on whatever venture you were taking, there's still a great deal of chance that you'd be able to recuperate your losses eventually, as I've seen from some of my friends who lost all their millions in previous bull runs only to regain them with even more on the pocket eventually. When you're addicted to gambling however, it's like a leech sucking out every drop of blood inside your body. Everytime you get money you'd be compelled to run to the nearest casino, or login to that favorite gambling site of yours and splurge all your money without a single care in the world. So all in all it's going to keep you within its chokehold until you realize that something's wrong or until you die.

Save for the other effects that you'd also experience when you subject yourself into gambling addiction, it would always seem as if it's way easier and more acceptable to lose your money than to be addicted to gambling.

Though, I don't believe addiction to gambling has to be completely involved or mixed with a feeling of pleasure of amusement. Something I believe it could be also strongly associated with guilt, depression and the hope to somehow recover those fund which got lost a long time ago, by hitting a jackpot by miracle. As long as the addicted gambler have money to keep on trying they delude themselves into thinking it will just matter of time before they manage to pull off their victory, though it does not necessarily mean they enjoy what they are doing, they could view it as a duty or something they are supposed to do to avoid to bring shame in their family circle or to their friends.

I am not completely ruling out the possibility of some addicting to enjoy what they do, but from the stories I have read online and the things they are willing to do for the sake of continuing to gamble, it would seem to me they do not feed their addiction with joy, but rather with bitterness.

The gambler who able to control of the game even if they are in the gambling addictions,this may leads to the gambler not affected by the gambling addictions.If the gambler has been playing the gambling with all the money he received from the income to get back the loss money from the gambling site.This will leads to the gambling addictions and the gamblers family also get into the financial struggle.The gamblers who had understand the stage of the gambling addiction should take care of their gambling addiction treatment.Because he should concentrate on the other stuff like playing offline game to get away from the gambling addiction.
