Gambling addiction causes loss

[$weetne$$]

I think there is nothing wrong with someone considering gambling as entertainment, but the most important thing is that they know the limits of gambling and can manage the funds used for gambling and their time for gambling, because we often see those who gamble frequently, of course they will have financial problems and It will be very easy for them to become addicted to gambling, but for some people who can control their gambling activities and also the funds they use for gambling, of course they will not experience addiction.

More people who gamble frequently are going to be addicted but there are some people who can gamble many times in a row and still not be addicted to gambling. Some people are gambling only because they want to get entertained. Gambling has a very strong addition feeling that comes with it and people love having that feeling so they will always be gambling anytime they see the opportunity. Gambling frequently leads to gambling addicts for many people therefore it is not always good to be gambling frequently. You can give yourself some break so you will be able to recover from your previous losses and be mentally ready to risk some more money for the opportunity to make more money. Gambling is entertaining and also risky but it is worth it when you are able to be gambling in an appropriate way and making profits.

This statement is valid as there are gamblers who can control thier emotions and have that capability to limit their gambling activities and prevent being busted and wrecked their finances, people who knows how to stop when they needed to top and treat this venue as part of thei entertainment, though most can't as adrenaline and that kind of addiction that they feel inside which makes them to keep aiming to play from time to time, they are those that turn things to worse side of this industry, they can't handle their own emotions that's why they burned everything including the amount that they can't afford to lose.

To be honest, I really admire the way some people do things with their emotions, that is, while they are playing and can control them, that is something that seems incredible to me, I can't no matter how hard I have tried, I haven't been able to, because I always do things that go out of my plan, that's why I learned that the things in the game that you have to control is money, I prefer to control money before emotions, for this reason when we focus on making any move in the casino it comes At the limit there will no longer be a problem, because it is backed by a plan.

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.

Gambling should be seen as a fun play and not a way of making money, your friend should take note of the followings

1. He should go for a break

2. He should be sensible enough not to chase losses

3. Must keep track of time to be spent on the spot

4. Never gamble more the amount you can't afford to loss

5. Never borrow to gamble

6. Always be on top of you game dont allow emotions to control you.

7. Always work on yourself esteem take very good care of yourself, your health, good food freshen up and relax.

The truth is that any form of entertainment is addictive, after all if you do something that feels good for you, then you will want to keep doing that something in order to keep feeling that way, this is how people get addicted to video games, watching TV or social media, and all of those are considered to be forms of entertainment, so I do not see why gambling should be treated differently, especially when the rate of addiction is on the low side.

You're wrong mate. Where did you get your fact that gamble addiction is on the low side? People are getting addicted everyday especially during this economic recession as means to cope with, and without any knowledge.
Gambling is risky and involves finances, the others you listed finances aren't involved like gambling or is being risk, whereas in gambling money is put at stake with hope of winning other life issues influencing it especially for those who aren't emotionally intelligent.
Nothing is wrong to enlightened everyone, that gambling should be limited, and gamble within your risk tolerance level and it should be with a discretionary funds.

According to the article I linked, the rate of the population with some gambling issues is between 0.4% and 2%, which does not necessarily mean an addiction, but anyone that may have made a few bets and lost control a few times but that are otherwise not addicted, so when compared to drugs and other addictions, the rate of addiction when it comes to gambling is in fact on the low side, especially if you are a regular adult with no psychological problems, in which case your chances of becoming addicted get really close to zero.

Everyone who is addicted to gambling has the tendency of losing money on daily basis,they are always crying of not having money  because the little money they have,it will be used for gambling,and this is what consumes them and finishes their money.The worst part of this is that they know,but they have nothing to do about it.As long as gambling has eaten a part of you,and you seem not to be able to do without it,you are finished.Gambling addiction is something one will never pray to be entangled with,because when you are a victim of it,you are liable to be a failure in life.

This shows that gamble addition and drug addiction are almost the same. The reason why they are 2 different things is because on drug, the addict put in his body and it's just like the person is spending his money on himself but when it comes to gamble, the addicted person on wager it and most gamblers says it's savings, that's they are saving their money through bets and one day, they will win back the money that they have lost. Imo there's not guarantee for any gambler to win because at every moment in gamble, all the odds ate always against the bettors, so its hard to win.

I would say that drug addiction is more severe than with gambling addiction but both would really be that destructive when it comes to finances but we do know that once you do touch up that drug addiction then it would really be that an another story because it could also affect your mental state plus with your behavior and your health or simply affecting all the things on you.

This is why as much as possible you should really be avoiding these things because once you do get shackled with these addictions then getting out would really be almost impossible
specially with drug addiction. Speaking about gambling then it is really that something that should be just that for fun but if you are someone whose really that
too impulsive and doesnt really like on losing money then gambling isnt for you. Usually people do mess up their lives at the moment that they will really be having that kind of
expectation or positive approach towards gambling when it comes on making money which is really that very wrong.

When I was a student and I didn’t have enough money for food, I became interested in gambling because I thought it would solve my money problems, and of course I was very naive. So I played micro-limit poker and was afraid for every hand, I had wild adrenaline, I scolded myself if I lost even one hand.

After years of playing and watching super pros, I realized a few things. One of them is that they don’t think about money at all, but only about the game and everything that happens there. This happens because they have enough money and their perception of money is different; for them it is not a luxury item, but a tool for increasing their quantity, because thanks to a large bankroll they can move up higher in the limits.

The conclusion I made for myself is that you need to be able to make such a bankcall or have money in your account so as not to think or worry about it in every hand and completely concentrate on the game. But even this is not a guarantee that you will forget about them, each player is different and has a psychological stability different from others, so maybe you will never know what a calm game is, but maybe I’m wrong.

If you can control your expenses I mean if you are good in money management it's more likely that you will be able to control yourself, if you can call the day and quit after losing certain amount that you setup or if you stop when you already earn your target, things that really have a good impact with your gambling, though most of the time it's the other way around, as greed and that addictive feelings inside that will continue to push you to play more instead of quitting and be safe with your finances.

No, it's a very good way to look at this game, I personally have always said something, when we are looking for a way to do things Right , Well we have to focus on what gives us the most peace of mind, I know that when we are around people who are professionals, their problem is not money, because they have plenty of it and that is Something we would like to have to solve and it would be better if we had the best way to solve it with enough money, that is why every time we are in a casino , playing poker or any game, money should be something that does not affect us in the Near future , that is to say, that does not Affect us in any way, that is where I Always say , always spend the money that we are Willing to lose.

Your friend have addicted to gambling in such a way that he can not do without playing gamble, the most anoing part of it is borrowing money to go and play gambling is the worst thing that can happen to a man because once you start doing that it miss that you are useless in life, that's why I always advise people just play as you can afford to lose don't borrow money or take loans from any body to go and play gambling.

Yes, for me things are like that , it is much easier to control finances and be able to guarantee money so that the most vulnerable things can be Solved , I cannot control the coins because in some way I keep betting, so my way of protecting myself is through money and with my discipline ,  so yes , when the money I have for a game Session runs out, that's it, for the rest things are more bearable.

I will always say that Each person has their way of playing and their way of managing their strategies, I always see that things are always very focused on luck , that is why you have to know how to Accept the designs of the game.

You know the word useless could mean a lot more things than what you meant, you can use the word Irresponsible instead.

Gambling addiction is now beginning to seem normal for those addicts and it only takes someone very responsible and disciplined to leave such addiction, once gamblers becomes addicted to it borrow becomes a norm too. when the urge of gambling comes they will find all means to make sure they gamble which borrowing will seems like a solution to them whereas it is still causing more problems to themselves.

For some to gamble without becoming an addict then they must by all means do the necessary or in other words obey all gambling rules hence addiction can be eliminated gradually, it's very good to practice gambling with only a designated amount and when you exhaust it you can just rest and leave the casino.

It's very sad to see a friend refusing to admit their gambling problem. It's important to talk with your friend with understanding and care to encourage them to change. You can also help him to make budget or financial plan to slowly pay off his debts. You can also offer him help from a professional. Inorder to get away with gambling, he'll need dedication, patience, readiness

That's right, that is why it's advisable to know the risks involved in gambling, to know the rules and regulations so that they won't be a victim of addiction because once an addict, it's very hard to stop because they feel they cant do without it at all and also I don't think helping a gambler to pay off their debts is actually a good idea, because we are paving way or encouraging them to gamble more or they will still borrow more money because they know they have someone who will be paying up the debt and that is not good instead we should allow them to carry their cross a little, maybe when they are being a thought a lesson, then we can interfere in the process but taking it up as our responsibility is not advisable and we should help them to seek support once they see themselves as an addict, that way can be helpful.

Perfectly said mate in as much as gambling is concerned their is know how you can stop anybody that is already addicted into gambling because their mentality always is that one day We be there ton to win, although helping a person that are addicted to gambling to pay his debts is very wrong because once you help them pay the first one they would like to do the second one that at end that you are going pay again he will not like to admit his mistake.

It's for the best, I prefer to be bad with gambling, but good with my finances, normally most of us have a family and this may be something that we should maintain very well because deep down things have to be that way, if we are responsible we know that we have to do this very well in order not to take risks, if a person prefers gambling before their things, it is a deliberate act of irresponsibility, and it is something that at least I myself would not forgive myself for, of course this always happens when we emphasize that the most important thing is our money and our well-being , before the pleasure found in games.

[Litzki1990]

Addicted always indicates something bad, so being addicted to something is never a good sign. If you are gambling where you become addicted to gambling then it will appear that you have completely lost control over gambling as well as gambling controlling you. Similarly if you are addicted to drugs you can't control yourself so a person addicted to anything will cause harm all the time. There are many gamblers who do not know how to become addicted but they become addicted in a very bad way which results in them incurring huge financial losses due to gambling. A person who is addicted to gambling not only harms himself but also harms his entire family and puts a lot of bad pressure on the family to manage gambling money which will never bring good to a gambler.

Even if a person has a gambling addiction he has enough time to think about his actions between gambling sessions and make the right decision. The fact that the gambler lost $64k perfectly demonstrates his irresponsible behavior, which is caused by chasing past losses. And we all know that chasing losses leads to more losses. If you have an addiction (no matter what kind) the best solution is to stop and analyze where your further actions may lead you.

Gambling addiction causes loss and will becomes bigger if that person don't realizes what's going on with him. Gambling addiction happens to someone when he can't control himself while playing gambling and not limits himself from playing gambling. He will use more and more money to playing gambling even he will not stops himself for a while because he thinks that he can wins in the nextr rounds.

His passion in gambling will be deeper without seeing what happens to him. His losses will becomes bigger and will not realizes that he lose much money. From losing much money will turn him becomes addicted to gambling and that can causes him bankrupt in anytime. If you don't wants to addicted to gambling, you must learn to control yourself while playing gambling because that will makes you lose too much money without you realizes.

[Ever-young]

I won't suggest anything because your friend can't accept someone else advice, so why I need to waste my time when I already know the answer?

The only way to stop him from gambling addiction is when he don't have anything anymore, we need to wait until the debt collector visit his house and force him to pay off his loans. If the debt collector already seize everything including your friend's house, there's a chance your friend will change.

I totally agree with you because I think that will really help him a lot and also make them change because if they were only told without teaching them some lessons, they won't change.

So if they are being arrest or taking responsibility of their actions due to their gambling addiction, I think that will really be another way for them to change their attitude, I think it will be the easiest way of stopping them from gambling or being an addict because if they are not being helpful, they are doing more harm than good to themselves and also to the society.
