A call to self-examining our gambling habit.

[SmartGold01]

Responsible gambler doesn't need this in my opinion why because as responsible gambler you should know when to gamble how much to gamble, time to stop and time start or the right time to gamble. If a gambler can maintain this then I think he will be far away from gambling addiction when a gambler doesn't follow these principles then there are every possibility for them to turned into addiction therefore, requires them to do self-examination due to what they find on themselves or how they are going out of the will.

To me I do apply self-examination in real life but not in gambling most times will call out my friends asking them about life if I am being too hashed on them or becoming too rude in a way they can't voice it out? So, when I asked and I get no such result from them then I will still maintain such lifestyle or even improve more better also putting myself in place.

I would have considered examining myself regularly if I was still gambling like before but this days I don't really gamble much, I rarely remember to login to my online based casino even though I have an allocation that I kept for wagering during every weekend but I end up not even touching them at some point because I have gradually removed my mind from gambling and I only go there if I have someone who's playing in too that at least will make me gamble.

But it's quite good to examine every steps that one has been making because it will revive your sense of reasoning that you might be going too far from normal gambler to an addictive gambler.

I agree, when you start to lose the passion for gambling, and you realize that you are gambling less and less, it becomes an ordinary thing to ignore the few times you do. I used to gamble so so much more, like probably 10x more amount at least, if we are talking about just wagering, I wagered 100x more times in most cases total, because you can bet and win and bet again, but if we are talking about just deposit amounts, probably 10x more back in the day.

These days I tend to just do that when I am at the most utmost situation I can, everything must be perfect for me to do it. Like it has to be an amazing game that I am going to watch myself too. Betting on 10 different games from 4 different leagues, is not the same as wanting to bet on UCL finals.

As gambler when last did you self-examine your gambling habit to create that awareness based on how you are gambling in order for you to be quite sure if you're within a considerable or an acceptable range of a gambling habit that is void of addiction or the tendencies of gambling addiction.

I think if gamblers could take certain step in setting up regular self examining question towards themself it will be helpful to them in their gambling life not to ignorantly be harbouring a gambling addiction or compulsive gambling lifestyle. Quite a number of gamblers are nursing an addictive gambling habit without knowing and for them their gambling life is normal but if they should  genuinely scrutinize or put their habit to test it is possible they could find varied errors to correct and be right on track again.

Don't you think so?

It would be all depending on awareness and moderation on which i could say that this would really be the  thing that you would really be needing up for you to be able to make yourself that save up
with gambling addiction or having that impulsive approach towards it because if you do tolerate out such behavior and activity then sooner or later you would really be finding out yourself on such
difficult situation and this is something that we do really need to avoid as much as we could.

This is where your common sense and self awareness would really be that something that should be watched because if you are really just that sensible on the things that you are
doing then you are really that avoiding yourself into that potential trouble and problems in the future. If you dont like to experience those unfortunate conditions then it would be always
best that you should really be that aware and sensible into the actions that you are making. Dont tolerate on things which you do seem that it would really be that
bringing out that huge problem into your life.

It is something that should be done so you know when you’re stepping out of line, but it’s not the case of what is done because people get drowned in the act if gambling that all they ever think is how to stake bigger so they make bigger. They may not even be subconsciously doing it, some people know that the habit is growing in them but the spirit of money overshadows the thought and they keep gambling anyway.

I realized that it is not like I'm Lossing interest in gambling but the fact that I'm so busy this days has reduced the chance of gambling. Unlike before I used to be very less busy, as student after classes I just rest and watch movies, while watching movies, i login to my online casino and stake the little up keep money that I kept for gambling and that became a routine but after I engage myself to learning and improving my graphics design skill and photography skill every day get engagements from clients and only time im less busy I'm in the forum reading ups and downs. So with such a busy schedule I don't long gamble much.

So this made me think that people who became gambling addicts where a result of being less busy with life, if one is busy I don't think he or she will become addicted to gambling. Which at the end will amount to examining ones steps to confirm if you're deviating from the original position to an addict like nature.

Generally, self-examination is very important in human life. In his wisdom, Socrates noted that unexamined life is not worth living. This justifies the importance of self-examination. In gambling, knowing your wins and losses is so important as it tells you if gambling has a positive or a negative connotation in your life. Any gambler, who has mastered the act of self-examination in his gambling activities will find it difficult to be addictive because before the gambler gets to that point, the gambler will stop gambling or reduce his gambling activities. In my understanding, if self-examination can not bring healthy gambling then its purpose has been defeated.

I will add that sometimes a gambler doesn’t have to wait for self-appraisal before learning responsible gambling practices. In fact, responsible gambling practices should come first before self-examination. If it is the other way round, a gambler may incur irreparable losses before even trying to self-examine himself. This becomes a case of medicine after death.

This will bring gambler into an awareness of what has happened, they can fix it and make several efforts to deal with any problems such as gambling addiction.
Most gamblers don't really care about what they are doing, even the attitude of self-examination or what could be said as self-introspection can rarely be established and all of this is because they don't care about themselves.
Self-introspection can also lead someone to improve their ability to fix mistakes that previously often occurred, besides that, it can also make some people truly find happiness in everything that happens.
For gambler, this attitude can clearly be said to be quite important, especially when it comes to gambling addiction, where they can think better in order to make healing efforts.

But everything will start from the attitude and mindset of the gambler himself, if gambler can have the right attitude and good mindset towards gambling activities then clearly they will become responsible gambler.
Effect of applying self-introspection will only really be felt by those who from the start discovered that gambling was filled with mistakes and problems.
But everything will be important and useful if can apply it correctly.

Gambling is an activity that has a high level of risk of experiencing financial loss, and can also cause other negative impacts that can harm the perpetrator. So this activity must be managed as well as possible, and carried out responsibly. Checking yourself for frequent gambling habits is the first step to finding out where the mistakes are, as well as the bad behavior that exists within us every time we gamble. By knowing where our faults and bad behavior lie within us, this can help us manage this gambling activity better, and make it easier for us to take the right anticipatory steps to prevent long-term losses, as well as the negative impacts it contains.

However, it seems that knowing and admitting our mistakes and bad behavior in gambling is not an easy thing. Where sometimes we are always observant of the mistakes made by other people, but we are always unaware of the mistakes made by ourselves, and we often even ignore them. Therefore, it is quite important to simply reflect and introspect on ourselves... we need to do this so that these mistakes and bad behavior do not happen again. And I always do that, a few minutes after gambling, especially if the final result of the gambling I do ends in a loss.

Effect of applying self-introspection will only really be felt by those who from the start discovered that gambling was filled with mistakes and problems.
But everything will be important and useful if can apply it correctly.

Attitude and mindset are crucial aspects of every action in life, including gambling. Indeed, the foundation of responsible gambling lies in the attitude and mindset of the individual engaging in it. A positive and responsible attitude towards gambling can significantly influence the behavior and decision-making within the activity.

The right attitude and mindset of the gamblers can transition into responsible gamblers. This entails understanding the risks involved, setting limits, and approaching gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a means of financial gain. Gamblers need also self-introspection to recognize that their gambling habits have led to mistakes and problems. Through introspection, gamblers can identify patterns of behavior, triggers, and underlying issues that contribute to problematic gambling. Applying the insights gained from self-introspection effectively might involve setting stricter limits or even refraining from gambling altogether if necessary.

Don't you think so?

Should be an automatic approach from any gambler while they are being more active in gambling.

While gambling for a long, our mind will tell us at what stage we are now in our gambling habit.

But the problem is, even though most gamblers already know the problem inside them, and the fact that they are aware of what's going on and what they need to do properly, they will ignore it because they want to achieve something good in gambling - to win decently. Several attempts will be made until they fall slowly into addiction and they won't realize it.

[Twentyonepaylots]

As a gambler, I think it is really necessary to check if you are still in the "acceptable way" of gambling because we don't realize that we are getting addicted; we don't feel that it is too much because we are too focused on gambling and want to recover or get more money. So every time you bet, you should think a little bit about whether you are still sane and thinking straight. 

But if you are not that dedicated as a gambler, just a casual one, You should be fine, because being casual means that you do not bet regularly, so the chances of you being addicted are low. Also, if you are betting within your means and betting the right amount of money that you are willing to risk, then you should also be fine. Since you are okay to lose it, it wouldn't cost you that much.

[DaNNy001]

It is something that should be done so you know when you’re stepping out of line, but it’s not the case of what is done because people get drowned in the act if gambling that all they ever think is how to stake bigger so they make bigger. They may not even be subconsciously doing it, some people know that the habit is growing in them but the spirit of money overshadows the thought and they keep gambling anyway. 

That's very correct and I would like to add that some folks have even zoned out other means of Making money as they see that gambling is the only way out that could help them win that money they are looking for. They are lots of person who can definitely tell when they are going off their habit but still find it very hard to stop the act because they spirit body and soul has been brain washed in thinking that gambling is the one true source of making money.

They may not even be subconsciously doing it, some people know that the habit is growing in them but the spirit of money overshadows the thought and they keep gambling anyway. 

Basically it's the addictive drive that gets most of these persons who get involved to such point and loose their sense of control gambling, when they are turning desperate and wants to win all at once, they will get to the point they will suffer all these because they were too addicted to not be able to apply restraint in their gambling activities, like you did said they may be aware that such bad habit is been cultivated in them but they usually lack that restraint to stop the gambling habit all at once because it's quite difficult to just stop it and the habit keeps growing from what it is to something even more bigger and disturbing.

Sometimes it's quite important bwe take out bsome time to do some self examination and make sure not to continue in habits that's costing us much more than we can afford and try as much bas possible to stop  them or probably apply control and restraint on such.

Indeed! From time to time, you need self-assessment of yourself so as to make sure you are not digging your grave out of gambling. Because usually, these addicts were thinking that they were still in the boundaries of being a moderate gambler, up until they are too deep with their games. And they are finding it hard to get back to where they were.

And they are finding it hard to get back to where they were.

When you're feeling that you've got the signs of being addicted, you need to do some self test to assure that you're still in good shape. But there's also a need for other people to check you out instead of you checking yourself alone.

Why? It's because that we can be in denial with the findings that we'd see through our own tests. Because we might choose to diagnose ourselves being a healthy gambler.

Most of the gambling addicts will do themselves a favor if they're the one to check themselves and that's why if it's a self assessment for them, it won't help and won't do good.

In that case the gambler doesn't realize he's into trouble or could be endangering his life and financial status. The game isn't for irresponsible gamblers. Staying in line with emotional tolerance, plays a vital role. Gamblers who try the self-examination, will have a better control on themselves. It also depends on the type of questions the player asks and answers by himself. Some players, with an effective question made available, may end up in tears. Good questions help in reviving the thoughts of the gambler, to direct his energy on other aspects of his life which he neglected. When reminiscing on his behaviors as per the questions he answered, feels sorry for his actions. Then the player can begin to act towards becoming a better gambler.

Don't you think so?

Examining oneself is never a bad idea as this is a way to evaluate the person, the gambling style in relation to psychology and the result got so far. This should even be done by gamblers periodically so that they can get to know their strengths and weaknesses in gambling so that the strategy can be further made to work for the gamblers and they would have to improve on the weakness or avoid it entirely since it could be some thing that is not manageable. However, this may be more applicable to gamblers who want to take it so seriously, but for me, I do not think I need that. I am not taking gambling seriously as such to avoid emotional issues. Not that I don't gamble regularly or somewhat commonly betting even if I do not gamble excessively like some people, but I am satisfied with my gambling analysis, the forecasts, management and the results so far.

Also, what helps me more in gambling is the fact that I do not take it seriously like some people would do. I take it as a side activity that is not all about the money, and this psychology alone has helped me so much. Unlike those who would depend so much on it and get desperate about it and the money they want to make from it. This can only cause more issues, so I love the way I do not take it so seriously to preserve my mind. The same reason is why I will not continually evaluate myself in gambling, I do not just have that time. But all I can say is that with my rough calculation, I am still positive since I bet mostly on sports betting.

When money is solely the motivation of most gamblers, do you think many of them even look after their health not to speak about the addiction and bad prowess in gambling? The reason why many people gamble today is because they want to stylishly double that money, so the least thing they want to think about is the frequent discuss addiction in gambling.

I think one of the ways you can access addiction is seeing how many times you have taken a break from gambling atleast a months and not having the urge to come back to play it or even facing outside life without even thinking about it despite watching your favorite games. In addition, also taking a time to review the time you have spent online gambling. I don't think it's healthy for any person to stay more than 6 hours online gambling unless you are an idle person who lack job or any other things to do and you know as the say, an idle mind is a devil workshop, idleness brings addiction in gambling.

Several attempts will be made until they fall slowly into addiction and they won't realize it.

Consciously, every gambler should do something like doing self-introspection once a week or every month, at least to see whether he looks fine while gambling and also to see whether his gambling habits are safe enough or not, it's not easy to do that. When a gambler starts to experience symptoms of gambling addiction, sometimes, as you said, they are usually more busy chasing to recover their losses or chasing their wins, so they don't have time to introspect and carry out self-examination.

But this becomes important when a gambler starts to forget themselves, they usually become addicted to gambling and end up going bankrupt, usually when they go bankrupt they will experience a process of self-realization, they regret what has happened, but they don't choose to recover in a positive way, namely stopping gambling for a while, but In fact, it actually makes it worse, because he feels that his life is useless and he doesn't have anything, so he continues playing until his gambling addiction becomes worse. That's clearly not a good path, that's why everyone should try to start at the beginning and get themselves checked before things get bad in the end.

It would be done naturally or something that you would really be doing along the way on which its impossible that you wont really be able to determine that you are already spending tons or
already on huge loss and if you are someone who do able to tolerate out such losing situation and tends to chase up losses then later on you had busted it all, then this is where you would really be that thinking that you should have stopped earlier but well everything has been done already and there's no turning back. When it comes on assessing yourself whether you are still that doing fine or
you are already showing some signs of addiction.

On the time that you've been noticing something that it is really that getting derailed on what you have set then its up to whether you should really be stopping
or would really be tolerating out such condition.Things turns out to be a mess if you do really let things happen but if you do bound to stop and go back
into the path then you would be saving up yourself.

Don't you think so?

For me gambling is not a necessity, or not an activity that should be prioritized, I only gamble when I want to and also when I have a certain amount of money that I can afford to lose, if you count maybe I only gamble once a month or twice a month, even then it is quite rare and there is no consistent involvement, so with this habit I think I am in the situation of a casual gambler who has no tendency to lead to addiction because I also do not experience any problems at all especially in terms of finances.

But I think it's a pretty good suggestion, I mean it's fine and it's quite advisable to examine your gambling habits in particular identifying how far you're involved in this activity and also identifying whether or not you're experiencing financial problems after you've been involved in gambling. But I think it's quite unlikely for a gambler to think in this direction, especially if they're basically the type of gambler who comes in with the wrong goals such as to earn, the problem is that it's difficult to achieve awareness so yes as you say they'll most likely feel that they're still okay even though they're not.
