How can we help beginners not to get addicted

[piebeyb]

        -     Maybe the only thing we can really do for beginners is to remind them that if they are entering a casino gambling platform, they should first learn to read the rules of the casino.

And don't train them to be greedy when gambling because this is usually what causes the gambler to develop an addiction later or later. I just hope they don't become too stubborn.

As a gambler they should know their basis and, before they stepped into casino house or gambling site they should be away of these things. Is just like someone who is wanting to drive without knowing the rules, its looks crazy so they should learn to control their emotion and avoid gambling excessively without having limits for themselves. Most times what gets most people into addiction is being too greedy, and wanting to break a particular records.

Yes, it is important to have game rules that must be read and understood, the most important thing is self-awareness because usually gamblers do not have self-awareness because they gamble just to follow trends and follow other people who win at gambling, even though in gambling it is important to be aware When you gamble, you don't just talk about winning and getting profits but understand all the risks and every loss you experience, many people are not aware of this so when they experience defeat they continue to try to recover their money by gambling until the end.

I think beginners should be told that it is important to build self-awareness so that they can follow the rules and procedures, read each rule of the game so that they don't go in the wrong direction, the important thing is how to control yourself when gambling, because it is important to control yourself when you have exceeded the limit, which is important, usually for people who are addicted to gambling because they play without limits so it is very easy to get addicted to gambling which makes them feel lost and bankrupt in the end. It all comes back to self-awareness and mindset.

Only one thing we can teach them if they are new in the  gambling then the best thing to do to avoid addiction is they must control themselves. That is the best thing to do cause if we can not control ourselves then there's a chance that we will loss adm then chasing losses made our bankroll empty. In short we can't control our emotions then addiction is on the way. But if we can control ourselves when we felt bad then pause for a while or let say break for a while.

[slapper]

There is no way we can help those who are just starting,the only thing to do is continue doing what we are doing,which is writing down or posting what gambling addiction is all about,and the effect it has had on us who are addicted already,if they have ears or eyes to see,then good for them,if they refuse to hear,and still want to try,then it is detrimental to them.I think it is even more good for them to try and get the experience of losing,so that they will see for real that gambling is not just best for them.Those who have become addicts like us can attest to that.

You are not helpful in this approach at all and as a matter of fact, we have a whole lot to do that can help new gamblers from getting addicted, not the other way round. As an experienced gambler yourself (if indeed), you can't deny that you have a whole lot of regrets now if you think back to the time you started afresh, by now, you would have done things differently. It is those things you are now regretting we are trying to avoid for the new gamblers here.

For me, it will be so nice to let the beginners know beforehand the danger of gambling, and the citing of dangerous examples will go a long way as well. You see, gambling has two sides (good and bad) and no matter how we try to shy away from the bad side, it keeps on knocking. This is why we should prepare for it beforehand and not let it become too late before doing that. Gamblers must be sure that they preserve their gambling psychology and never let the issue of gambling become a do-or-die affair, it's not just worth it. The moment the gambler senses emotion and desperation, the gambling for the day/session must end immediately to avert issues.

Also, gamblers must have their own minds, they must be so disciplined and determined. Gamblers must possess the right plans and have the budgets and management that will keep their gambling expertise shown even as the safety and preservation of their gambling accounts are enforced. However, if the tough becomes tougher and the addiction is fast approaching even as the gambler is powerless, it's good that he resorts to a break. This is a way to take a fresh breath for a fresh start and the best way to curb all the excesses associated with gambling.

You're 100% right about being proactive. Mistakes are how we learn, especially when we've made a few ourselves. But knowing something's bad isn't always enough to stop us, right? It's good to be straight-up about the risks. But the deeper question is: how do we get people to that place where they see the trap before it springs? That discipline you mentioned, man, that's gotta be baked in, part of who you are. When those hot emotions hit, that's the time to step back. It's strategic, not weak. Gotta protect yourself to play the long game

Guy you are right, self control is very compulsory in so many things that we do. It is same thing as self discipline by which if any individual lacks discipline, they can make so many mistakes and even fail in life. Let new gamblers write out the very important rules of gambling and make sure they read it to themselves every day or they should always read it before going to gamble.

Rules 1, don't gamble with loan money, rule 2, don't be too desperate for winning and so many other rules.

Addiction is triggered by the continuous repetition of a habit, till it becomes a lifestyle. It's somewhat easy to begin, but becomes a problem that needs y'all to seek other people's consent when y'all wanna quit.
The greatest solution to not getting into addiction is to avoid wagering at all;  you can't eat your cake and have it .. Eitherways, we spend money on alot more unnecessary things and, gambling could just be one of 'em.

"The worst thing a man would do is put himself in a pit that would take only the aid of people outside to hover him out"

The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction,.

That's not the reason why you are not addicted just yet.

[Blitzboy]

I suggest beginners to adjust their money towards not losing a lot. In other words, apply limits to yourself is more than enough. The worst part of gambling addiction is to lose so much money that it damages your personal budget.

and also better for beginners to study gambling first , because the problem here is that most of those beginners does not fully understand gambling and made their life miserable  in the end.
we must understand that gambling is a place where we can win and get rich but the problem is that there are limited chances or luck that available to the people  and mostly it is luck that players will get.

Exactly, I agree with your opinion that it is really highly recommended or even mandatory for beginners to learn and understand how gambling actually works, especially understanding how winning and losing works where in fact the name of victory is always nothing more than a "chance" while losing is a "certainty" in gambling, don't get it wrong in terms of understanding gambling, and we can see how the impact is experienced by most gamblers who always try to make gambling a place to earn which in the end instead of earning but instead they suffer a lot of losses and all that happens because they have a wrong understanding of gambling.

The main mistake that often exists in most gamblers is that they think that gambling can be used as a place to earn, even though it is clear as I said above that winning is nothing more than a chance which means that it will not always happen according to what you want unless you are really lucky while when luck does not come then obviously you will lose and lose money, and this is the reason why gamblers are always advised to put a lot of restrictions when they are involved in gambling, do not let you be provoked and tempted to pursue something that actually has no certainty that can guarantee victory.

Gambling to make a living is a losing game. I know success from building businesses, and this path leads to failure. Winning depends on odds, and gambling odds are against you. Luck, not skill. Thinking you'll get rich? Thats disastrous. System is meant to take money. Its true that massive wins keep the system running, but they're rare.

The wise, winning play is understanding the dangers. Self-control matters. Establish small restrictions. Consider it fun, not a career. I know life is hard. Gambling is a trap for those seeking quick cash. Work and constructing something real lead to permanent success.

The rules and regulations are not hidden in casinos on how gamblers are supposed to play gambling.  Every casino always have this on their site which most it seems like stress for gamblers to go through it. Not that gamblers are not been reminded about reading the rules guiding gambling of playing responsibly, gamblers don't have the patience to read the instructions in casino.  Their is nothing that can be done except people change their mindset of knowing that gambling is not a way of getting quick money to become rich.  People feel gambling is easy and they can play so much to make  money from it.

Winning in gambling just happens same way losing also happens to a gambler so there is no need to make any special place for being aggressive if truly you want to fight addiction and it possible cases, and at a point gambling can also be of choice the fact that you decide to be persistent in gaming doesn't entirely mean you are already addicted, some gambler's can be persistent and not addicted.
It is easy for us to spot when someone is excesiveley playing because of they addiction which is very different in this case

Gambler should keep in mind that win and loss both are interconnected and we will face both but winning situations will increase our courage while losing will give us new opportunities in which we will not repeat the same things. Gamblers often become aggressive when they lose their money in gambling so this aggressive habit makes them addicted therefore they want to recover that amount but unfortunately they face greater loss than their previous one and this happens because they don't use their mind but they use their aggressiveness.

Playing excessively often leads to an addictive behavior which one cannot avoid because if we become addicted to something then it becomes very difficult for us to leave therefore gambling should be thought of as a hobby but should not alter this hobby into addiction.

Beginners must understand the risks of gambling and be able to limit themselves so as not to spend too much money on risky bets or playing directly. Although sometimes some people think that gambling can make someone rich if they can win a big jackpot by betting a large amount of money. But if they are not aware that gambling is full of the risk of losing and if they are not mentally prepared to lose, it will end badly and make gamblers lose their minds chasing their losses. Usually beginners easily experience things like this because they don't understand that the risks of gambling are very big.

Actually there are many things that must be implemented by beginners before they enter the world of gambling and they can avoid addiction. They have to play gambling carefully, I mean by limiting the time, using only a small amount of money as long as it is money that you can afford to lose, but if Not willing to lose the money, it's better not to use it rather than having to bear the burden and play with a lot of pressure. In the end, he ends up chasing his losses so that what started out as a small loss becomes a double or triple loss because he is not willing to lose the money to gamble, even if it's only a small amount.

Playing excessively often leads to an addictive behavior which one cannot avoid because if we become addicted to something then it becomes very difficult for us to leave therefore gambling should be thought of as a hobby but should not alter this hobby into addiction.

Anything that will be considered hobby can be easily addictive, infact there is a close line between hobby and addiction and this line is the major problems with gamblers as they do not try to differentiate the two from each other hence leading them into serious addiction.

If you ever want to gamble and not get addicted to you then you have to start learning to take a break in gambling, not only when you lose that you have to take a break but also when you feel like it's not too important for you to gamble. Some time ago I gambled regular with out season or time but I discovered that it's becoming a very habit to gamble so I took a break and after some time I went back again hence I don't feel the urge to gamble as before. This self-control is a big initiative to know in the line or addiction and hobby.

As a gambler they should know their basis and, before they stepped into casino house or gambling site they should be away of these things. Is just like someone who is wanting to drive without knowing the rules, its looks crazy so they should learn to control their emotion and avoid gambling excessively without having limits for themselves. Most times what gets most people into addiction is being too greedy, and wanting to break a particular records.

It is therefore important for gamblers to manage their emotions well before starting to gamble. Because in gambling there are many games that trigger your adrenaline. There will be a dopamine hormone and a feeling of happiness when you win or your guess is correct. And if you can't manage your emotions well then it will be negative when you lose. Because if you are very happy when you win, then you can become very angry and emotional when you lose. In that situation you will try to bet more in the hope that you can recover your losses. I think that is something important that beginners in gambling should know.

True, emotional management is always recommended to all gamblers because this is the key to avoiding worse possibilities such as experiencing a significant number of losses, and also because usually when someone is dominated by emotions then usually they will never hesitate to make decisions and take actions that are really crazy which will actually only lead them to more significant regrets at the end of the session. On the other hand, it is usually easier for emotions to occur when you put excessive expectations on victory which when it turns out that the results at the end of the session are not what you want then obviously you will be emotional and this is where all impulsive decisions begin.

Therefore, we may have often heard that we all need to consider gambling as a place only for entertainment and not for income, because when winning is not a priority then it is less likely that you will get emotional because of the defeat that can never be avoided completely, so the point is that one of the keys so that you can avoid emotions is by not making winning a top priority in your gambling involvement.

Right, gambler's feelings get controlled by the results of their game. Have noticed some players who allow their results to influence the way they feel. Although didn't add any relevant response on this, because they don't look addicted. However, assuming a player around me gets too violent regarding his results, it's my obligation to get him back on track. As it'll be a thing of failure on my end if a close friend loses his control on gambling and wagers all his funds. The problem will as well be mine to solve. Sometime when a broke gambler needs money to gamble, he runs to his friends and most time get supported due to the framed up lies from him.

It's not wrong to assist someone, but at times when the person is popularly known for his compulsive gambling, it's right to help him by reducing how funds is issued to him. Because the more money is handed out to the player he would make moves on wagering the whole money. The best way to be of help to such players is by restricting their finances. If the person have some money with him, talking to him about things he needs to buy in his home can change his thoughts and allow him focus on a fresh idea of spending money other than throwing all of it on casinos.

In fact, if it is considered a hobby, gambling behavior is a bad thing because you will deliberately force your brain when you have free time and or feel bored to do gambling because you will certainly think that it is because of my hobby, it is the cultivation of the wrong mindset in classifying gambling in life, you should still consider gambling as a place of entertainment that you occasionally go to, like beaches and other things to spend money and look for the fun you can get.

People are addicted to thinking that I will get a big fortune, get a win with a bigger return on money and yes starting from there, someone who has a gambling addiction they will always always have expectations of victory and abundant money in an easy way, even though it's not that simple, which in the end they continue to experiment with the game every day and try to pit their luck, just try to ask every gambler who does gambling activities more often, they hope for what, surely answer to get the big money that he might be able to have from the casino. So the way to prevent it is to stop expecting.

addiction to gambling is real. Its more than just terrible money management. We must act wisely and not ignore this. Deal with their finances first.  Limited cash access is the best method to draw attention to the issue. However, tough love is beneficial for them. Next, discuss their fundamental needs—food, housing, etc. Make them think long-term, not next-bet. About real friendship. Helping someone see the big picture, not just the now. Lead them to a better place

To me I calls it a revenge gambling or a compulsive gambling where the bettor is trying to gamble to restore and recover's what they had lost initially is what brought many people to gambling addictions, naturally I have often advise some people that are a bit closer to me especially my neighbors on this type of gambling because when they goes way far above what they expected then it results to something else without them knowing they are gradually sinking into a gambling addictions.

Again if they win along the line they should keep gambling because the more they keeps gambling the more they lose the previous rewards they won, so the best thing to do is when they gamble and win they should stop for that day or possibly space the casino house for that very day or may comes back 4 days interval by then their brain could had got stabilized on what next to do.

[Webetcoins]

Aggressiveness may be a good thing when you are fighting your enemy on the battlefield, but it rarely helps in gambling. I'm saying "rarely" instead of "never" because in some extremely rare cases people do win because of their aggressive behaviour. It happens by chance, like those cases when people hit the Jackpot in a lottery, but it happens and it would be wrong to say that people always lose because of their aggressiveness. Most of the time, however, people lose and lose really big amounts when they start acting like that. Be cool and enjoy your gambling experience without going over the edge, that's what I would say to beginners if they want to stay out of gambling addiction.

I agree with that because I have seen people experience such things. When a gambler starts losing or lose their initial bankroll, they come back with a bigger bankroll and start betting aggressively, what happens is sometimes they manage to win and recover the money they have lost earlier, but most of the time, they lose what they have brought the second time or even if they bring more after that because you can't win all the time.

Aggressive bettors manage to win big if one of their bets hit something big like if someone is betting with a large bet in a slot game and they manage to hit 3000x or more, they will get a lot of money out of that, but that doesn't happen very often and most people will eventually be at the losing side.

being aware of what we are getting into is important but not really something easy to do at all times
sometimes it's more about learning as you go

On point mate! sometimes it's easy to be said than done so much better to focus on our own, on how to handle our emotions like how will we react if something bad happens to us during gambling session, How often we spend money in our gambling activity and mostly how often or how much time we devote to gambling rather than prioritizing more important things. everything I mentioned we must be aware of so that we do not end up addicted to gambling. It is difficult and challenging to avoid it, but there are a few people who know how long they have been gambling, they manage themselves and never lead to addiction.

When it comes to gambling, beginners must learn about how to handle their emotions so they will not gets the bad  experience like the other gamblers. We can suggest them something that can avoids them from the mistakes but some beginners will not listen to our suggestion and will do what they wants. Beginners must have limitation to prevents the big lose in gambling so they will not regrets with their lose money and will trying to recover the money. They must avoids the addiction in gambling because that's happens to many people and it started from the losing control in gambling. It's why beginners must have good self control when playing gambling so they will not lose much money and knows how to treats gambling properly. If they can avoids that thing, they can enjoy playing gambling.
