Gambling addiction causes loss

[rahmad2nd]

Chasing loses is not always bad. I said this because there’s a time that the reason that you gamble for that day is to chase lose but you end up on profit due to luck for that day which you can’t win if you didn’t play. This is only advisable for those user that only play using small amount of money or any amount that they can afford to lose.

I believe most gambler here seek chasing loss or profit when gambling because that challenges gives real fun on gambling. It serves as purpose or goal on why people gambling and at the same time provides entertainment on the process of playing.

Yeah, obviously, I don't think the results will always be the same. I'm sure we have various experiences related to gambling, not least when we try to chase losses. after all, when we play, especially in a short time we suffer defeat. the urge to want to play again will always cross our minds, whether to chase losses or just to try a second session. whatever the reason, most gamblers seem to have the same experience. well, there are various scenarios that can occur when we chase losses. but usually, most of them only lose again. in fact, in a game session we don't always immediately experience or suffer defeat. there are those who get the money they lost again, but because they still want to continue playing, they end up losing again, even over and over again. well, this is what usually becomes a problem for gamblers. as a result of chasing defeat, and we don't know the limits, we always end up suffering. quite a few also become addicted. however, we also have to be balanced in this discussion. not infrequently, when we are in the lucky mode phase. the blow after blow we get can even exceed our previous defeat many times over. well, this is gambling. every time we play, there is always risk involved.

I had a friend in the gambling circle,he was gambler addicted person over a year.I had advised him many times,but he is not ready to accept my advice in the gambling.Apart from gambling,my friend accept my advice without any hesitation.When I had a time on weekend,I get a chance to meet him in personal.I had some question about his gambling addiction,but the sad part is he is not accepted his gambling addiction towards the gambling site.

He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.

op Your post shows that you have tried hard to convince your friend that gambling is not good or you have tried to convince him that he is losing a lot of money by gambling but he is so addicted to gambling that you are his friend and he is talking about you. don't want to hear  Basically, those who become addicted to gambling do not listen to anyone. If he gambles and loses $64,000, he gambles again and again to make up for it. He is in debt. He should be convinced very quickly and stop gambling. Should be done because gambling is ruining his family so he is ruining himself Gambling can never bring happiness and peace in people's lives. If your friend doesn't understand this then he will end up in debt at some point he will lose all his money and become destitute so he needs to quickly realize that gambling on debt is never good for him.

Its more better sometimes to let go than chasing after losses, we are instead going to keep on falling for the same mistakes over time, we are to gamble and never feels bad on what it could have caused us financially because it's not a means of making money, instead we needed that money to be able to enjoy gambling, we should deal with our addiction while it's still at the earlier stage than when things already got out of hands.

Do you really believe that pursuing losses makes gambling "real fun"?You seem to be associating enjoyment with the excitement of maybe making up lost ground, but what about the tension, the worry, the risk of addiction? What fun is that going to be?

Let's speak honestly. The goal and difficulty you state? They are smoke, mirrors, and illusions put in place to keep you guessing and hoping. However, hope is not a tactic. A wise gambler would know this. They play with strategies, not feelings, and they set boundaries. They know that gambling is a kind of amusement that comes with a price, and it should never be about chasing anything. And the value of your financial and mental well-being should never be more than that expense

Are you really gambling personally or you are just talking using textbook knowledge about gambling? Because you will understand what I’m talking about fun on thrill and risk if you are really playing personally. But if you are just posting using gambling knowledge that you can read online then it will be hard for you to complete the fun I’m talking.

I’m not telling that we should chase our loses but I’m just implying that there’s a fun on doing assuming that you are not using money that you can’t afford to lose. What do you think about gambling? Always win? There’s always a time that you will encounter tons of losses and the joy you will get when you recover from it is greater than winning on few bets. Simply you will never appreciate the joy of winning if you didn’t appreciate the sorrow of losing.

There is an unwritten rule in gambling...
never try to recover the amount lost while playing by trying to bet more and more...
you will simply lose even more.
Just because the games always have an advantage for the bookmaker/gambling house.
It's really hard to beat this advantage, its like a match rule.

This actually true. But the problem is gambling addicts fail to follow up with the rule. Gambling addiction is a nasty thing . Many a time These gambling addicts stake irresponsibly and unnecessarily even when they lose. I can be so bad sometimes that they are not resilient but rather eager to stake every last cash they have. Some even end up selling valuables just to be able to cover up and pay back the pile of debt they incurred during their gambling activities.
This is why every gambler is advices to stake responsibly and have discipline on the way they gamble to avoid them becoming gambling addicts. One of the most surprising and annoying part is the fact that a lot of these addicts lose more than they win that is why the mostly end up going bankrupt.

Every now and then we want to help our friends and of course we want to do all things that can help them. But if they are too addicted then we can't do such things cause they will not gonna listen to us and like what you've been mentioned like your friend that it doesn't listen to you because he is addicted in to gambling.  And without their help they cannot leave in the gambling world.  Even though many people around them saying that too much  gambling is not a good thing for them but still they didn't listen.

[Pesona1]

you have done your best for him, but he doesn't listen to you, he can't forget his defeat and tries to take revenge, and that will bring him down into misery, we can't act with things like this only his own self-awareness can change it

       -   It's really hard when an addicted gambler's mind is closed because they are deaf to the reminders of friends who really care about them; even relatives or their own spouses themselves don't listen anymore.

So when it comes to gambling addiction, it does not really have any good effects on itself. It seems like there is a right time for them to understand or realize that they need to change, or something like that. So what can change them is no one else but themselves.

It is difficult for us to stop our addiction to gambling without a strong enough determination, let alone stopping or advising a friend not to gamble, of course it will only cause disputes between us and that friend, As a friend, of course we can only advise him and I think we won't can change a friend's mindset in a short time, there will be two risks for us (my personal experience) if we continue to give advice to a friend who is addicted to gambling :
First, gradually the friend begins to realize that gambling is the wrong thing and in the end he tried to stop gambling little by little.
Second, if we keep trying to give advice, we can be sure that this friend will stay away from us because maybe he will get bored of hearing every advice we give and in the end the friendship will end.
According to existing research, gambling addiction can cause changes in our brain circuits just like drug addiction so that in the end this addiction will affect our finances, our bodies and even our brains which will not work as normal people should.

Yes is does. Addiction means you will play every day at almost 24/7. Which also means there's a nonstop money spending. House edge will be the lost of a gambling addict. We cannot win against it.
You win 100 today and then 120 will be taken from you tomorrow. You just lost 20 percent of your capital and then it goes on and on.

Some gamblers don't understand this but do analyze why you are not winning in the long run?
You get a winning streak and then suddenly you are in a losing streak and maybe more. We must learn when to check out. If we win enough, call it a day, enjoy the profits, and maybe spend the time with your family using that money. I know it's easy to tell but difficult to do but it is a must.

Easy to tell, hard to do is exactly the thing. Someone who is out of a problem can suggest hundreds of solutions and things to do, but the person who is having the problem can barely act upon any of those solutions or even think about them because they just can't see them or even if they do, they are not easily doable for them.

Similarly, when someone is not addicted to gambling, they can say that it's not difficult staying away from addiction, just do this and that and that's it, you are away from addiction, but someone who is already addicted cannot understand this language because they can't do it, they simply can't control the urge no matter how hard they try. So it's easy for us normal gamblers to say this, but it's hard for addicted gamblers to follow.

Well, I can tell that it varies depending on whether a person has a great deal of self-control over their desires. Since we are not addicted to gambling, we are able to control our actions and respect the boundaries we have set for ourselves. Those who bet occasionally can easily break from it for a while. As I believe that the gambler's addiction is to blame for his present situation, it is likely that he is too overwhelmed to consider the amount he may lose while playing and instead focuses solely on how much he can win. It seemed as though their addiction hijacked their ability to make decisions, making them want to keep gambling and struggle with impulse control.

As it may seem now the end product for Gambling addiction is a total loss,but the one's involved will not accept that fate,moreso when you open up to let them know the do's and don't regarding this game,they won't accept it but they will rather feel your trying to deprive them of their right and decisions.
Sometimes when I watch some gamblers act this way,and I must have talked to them in an advice and they're acting in such a way not to adhere,then I just allow them play to their satisfaction and by so some of them will realize the content of what they are creating.

I had a fight too with my friend on this, trying to persuade him to not take such decisions but he wouldn't listen and I let him be but when the mystery unfold,he came begging me but what would I do as at that moment, definitely nothing.
They are addicted and it's controlling their wellbeing, behavior and all of that but they think it's the other way round.

That is unfortunately the reality for anyone who has a gambling addict friend or family member. They end up not listening to what you are saying, thinking that they are going to end up winning and that results with them not doing all that well, which results with some sort of trouble one way or another.

The best thing to do would be just making sure that we help them as much as we can but after a while it is not really our problem and they should have listened to us when they had the chance. If they come back and ask for more, then we all know that they will keep doing it forever, so you can't pity them and give money even once, even for unrelated to gambling stuff, because they would just go gamble with it anyway.

That's normal gambling and not chasing losses. When a gambler chases their losses, they start increasing the size of the bet so that a win can give them back what they have lost so far which mostly makes them lose their whole bankroll if there is a losing streak. Gambling later with another bankroll with the same bet size and winning some money isn't considered chasing losses, that is just normal gambling and you becoming lucky which happens in gambling.

I believe most gambler here seek chasing loss or profit when gambling because that challenges gives real fun on gambling. It serves as purpose or goal on why people gambling and at the same time provides entertainment on the process of playing.

I don't agree with you. Chasing losses doesn't make the experience fun because if you keep losing constantly in a few sessions, you will start to become sad and start losing hope. Gambling is fun only if you have a budget that you can afford to lose, and you move on when you lose without having any remorse or regret.

He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.

That is a very fatal thinking error. I once heard a gambler say that if you lose in this round then you have to bet a multiple of 1.25 of your previous losing bet to win. I don't understand what he means but I conclude that the principle is the same as what happened to your friend. When he loses at gambling, he has to increase the amount of his bet to return the money he has lost. I think it is a thinking error that can cause you to become addicted to gambling and ruin your life. You can never stop gambling that way. I hope he realizes his mistake but from what you said I think I can only hope your friend will learn a life lesson after he lost everything.

that is what they called Martingale in which mostly enough strategy for those who have big capital  because this needs doubling and doubling each bets/losses.

When he loses at gambling, he has to increase the amount of his bet to return the money he has lost.

but what if he lose again and again and again? so he will lose more than all the capital?

this is not applicable in small time gamblers.

I think it is a thinking error that can cause you to become addicted to gambling and ruin your life. You can never stop gambling that way. I hope he realizes his mistake but from what you said I think I can only hope your friend will learn a life lesson after he lost everything.

exactly that is what Addicted gamblers do because they are chasing losses and for me this is truly an stupid way.

If you look at the nominal amount, it is fantastic if you experience a loss of up to 64k dollars. I was the only one who experienced something similar, but still in a small amount, was able to return all debts by working offline and leaving gambling for approximately 3 years.
From this incident I learned and because I am addicted to gambling, I still gamble, but for now I only use 10% of the salary I get.

[reagansimms]

Your task as a friend has been completed, then let him show his own fate.
When his emotions are so high due to losing a large amount of money, he will find it very difficult to accept advice from anyone. Never mind advice from those of you who are just friends, perhaps he will ignore advice from those closest to him because what he has in mind is wanting to get back the money he has spent on gambling sites.

His addiction level was very serious, he dared to take bigger risks to get something that could not necessarily be won. As a result of people like this, gambling is always considered a negative activity in society, even though if he is able to control his emotions by being a responsible gambler, he can still control his finances and be free from debt.

op Your post shows that you have tried hard to convince your friend that gambling is not good or you have tried to convince him that he is losing a lot of money by gambling but he is so addicted to gambling that you are his friend and he is talking about you. don't want to hear  Basically, those who become addicted to gambling do not listen to anyone. If he gambles and loses $64,000, he gambles again and again to make up for it. He is in debt. He should be convinced very quickly and stop gambling. Should be done because gambling is ruining his family so he is ruining himself Gambling can never bring happiness and peace in people's lives. If your friend doesn't understand this then he will end up in debt at some point he will lose all his money and become destitute so he needs to quickly realize that gambling on debt is never good for him.

The inability of the addicted fellow to see reasons or listen to advice from friends or family happens to be one of the major signs of addiction, whether in gambling or any other type of addiction. Sometimes it may really not be the victim's fault, maybe he is trying his best to listen to the advice but the addiction may have eaten really deep into him that he can't even help it anymore.
And like you said, it can have very devastating consequences, not just to the victim alone, but also to the friends and loved ones around him, so rather than criticizing the victim, they should also understand that it may not also be his fault and seek for a better approach to use on him

Without a doubt an addiction can have a huge effect on the person that afflicts and this can cause awful long term consequences for them, however I really believe people should be held accountable for their actions, because even if they cannot help themselves now that they are addicted, there was a period in which they were not and they still took a series of actions that lead them towards that path, and that is completely their fault.

One of the things that you should be looking for is not to make yourself that getting addicted in the first place on which on the time that you are dealing with gambling then this is the primary issue that gamblers would really be facing up on which getting addicted and doesnt have that control over it. You would really be finding yourself on such huge problem on the time that you would really be putting up yourself
on such condition because being shackled with addiction isnt something that could really be easily resolved out by someone. You would really be definitely be messing up  your life on the time that you cant really be able to make out on which this is something that you must really be avoiding at all cost.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make ourself that responsible on the things that you are dealing with then it would really be considered good.
There are really just those people who cant really be able to bare up on the emotion and their insights and beliefs towards gambling on which these things
causing for them to play further.

A rehabilitation center or a medical help would be very good for him. But he first need to accept that he is addicted to gambling and that he needs to stop, for him not to later do something not good to himself.

I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.

Tell him not to gamble anymore. If he is still gambling, he needs help like I said.

When there is issues of gambling addiction, and there is a need to get it treated, the best point to start from is in the individual willingness to quit gambling,  because no matter how hard third parties try to help an addict to overcome his addictions if himself haven't realized and be ready to quit gambling,  there will be no way to get him out of it at all, so my advice to the guy us to quite gambling by toa withdrawal and also have a 100% personal commitment to getting over it by all means, only with that can he overcome the addictions.
Many times what keeps an addict hucked is the ambition to recover with the next bet/game and by so doing, they get carried away with the spending to the point that they already accumulate alot of loss and possibly become indebted.

It's like this, what I say is something, when we can highlight from this that when a person has to adapt to the reality of things because that is already the maturity of the life that one has, what I am thinking It's that when a person becomes depressed about an addiction, that's when he goes overboard, because for example, my grandmother smoked too much, she was a compulsive smoker, and that was the only area for her to quit and because a cockroach came out of one cigarette, and That's something that made her very disgusted and that was enough for her to leave it, it's the only reason she left it, maybe I wonder how a person who is addicted to gambling can be disgusted by gambling? I don't know how she can do it, but on a personal level it is something that can happen, I am a person who always sees things from another point of view, and that is what we should see in a great way.

A person can stop being addicted from one day to the next, but I think that person has to be very given to things to overcome them, so this seems to be that it can be Demonstrated in many ways, I could say that when we are looking to generate the way to get out of something, the mind is capable of doing it, only because sometimes we are very sentimentalists and what we want is to be able to do things like that, I know that it is difficult, but in case we Cannot do it, then for that There are psychologists, psychiatrists, but when there is an addition I think it is worth it to spend the money that is necessary so that you can leave that world and be able to recover completely, if that implies or return more to a caisn, then do it. What is important about this is that people Always have to take care of their mental health, their overall health, and if a particular activity hurts them, then they have to stop doing it for their own good, that is something we Should know, and there is no way that we avoid it, so willpower in these cases is very important.

And like you said, it can have very devastating consequences, not just to the victim alone, but also to the friends and loved ones around him, so rather than criticizing the victim, they should also understand that it may not also be his fault and seek for a better approach to use on him

Without a doubt an addiction can have a huge effect on the person that afflicts and this can cause awful long term consequences for them, however I really believe people should be held accountable for their actions, because even if they cannot help themselves now that they are addicted, there was a period in which they were not and they still took a series of actions that lead them towards that path, and that is completely their fault.

This is true, and in most people, those who become addicted to gambling are a bit careless people. I don't want to call them stupid, they are often quite smart. And I feel sorry for such people, because unlike you and me, at one time they simply did not know that gambling was quite dangerous.

And I don’t feel sorry for the other type of people who live as if they’re wasting their lives and don’t feel sorry for anything. I know people like that.
They live one day at a time - their motto is “today I feel good, and I don’t care what happens tomorrow.” Such people deserve what happens to them, because life is a dangerous thing and cannot be taken lightly.
