Responsible, and Safe Gambling.

[Tungbulu]

Gambling is not dangerous but gamblers are responsible for creating dangerous situations. You will find most gamblers gambling to make money because they are forced to repeatedly lose money and they continue to make every effort to recover that money. You can keep gambling fun if you can set aside a specific amount of money for gambling. That money will be available only for your entertainment and you will try your best to avoid going beyond this limit. The intrusion of emotions will enter the gambling game when you keep losing more and indulge in excitement.

The problem is that, a lot of people go into gambling with the intention of making money, and this often make them ignore the risks of losses, and when the losses starts coming in, the mindset automatically shifts from entertainment to recovering their losses. At this point, emotion immediately takes over their rational thinking and logic becomes weaker. As the chase goes on, the losses compiles even more and rather than actually recovering, the get the opposite effect.

And that is a fact we often see, many gamblers lose their way and turn gambling into a means of making money, all because they have crossed the line. It is indeed not easy to gamble responsibly, any advice sometimes becomes useless because they are too focused on winning. Those who set winning targets when betting will clearly tend to chase their losses when they lose, and once that happens, it becomes very difficult to stop.

I want to hear more ideas about how someone stops or controls their gambling habits.  

Well, one would consider stopping gambling if it has become a problem and usually gambling would become a problem if you get emotionally attached to it. In most cases, some persons would admit they gamble just because they have access to the gambling platforms, so if you want to stop gambling you must first remove yourself from situations that make it easy for you to gamble.

And when they decide to deposit more after losing, that is the worst decision of all. This is the beginning of big losses, their deposits are getting bigger and bigger, and their losses are getting bigger and bigger. The result of excessive gambling is only more losses, but when someone gets caught up in the thought of recovering these losses, he does not realize that he is actually gradually taking on greater risks. But in this matter, one has to be more careful, the main lesson of responsible gambling is that you always have to stop at the right time.

That's right since they go and exceed to their limits it will not be hard to them to keep repeating that same mistake over and over as the chance of getting aggressive will keep pushing them to keep adding more, though there's some situation where they'll be able to win some but another misconception may take place, thinking that it's their winning chance now and pushing for more instead of quitting will hit them badly as they'll missed that and will lose back again and the cycle will continue.

I want to hear more ideas about how someone stops or controls their gambling habits.  

After a long playing time and catastrophic ending. Yes of course.

Gambling is majorly about aiming for profit and when that profit isn't coming, it gives no joy anymore. So you can't stop gambling if you are earning profit because even your family will be in peace with you but you are likely to lose your wife and family if you are always losing, not taking care of the family because you use money for the family to gamble.

I believe bad gambling experience is the reason that an addict gambler can stop gambling that is if they don't add drug addiction to it which will be very difficult to take care of because it is a double jeopardy.

It is not everybody that gambles to make profit. Although majority of people that do gamble is purely to make profit. For those that do gamble for profit especially those that do see gambling as a means of making money to fend or feed there family, it is very wrong because it is not possible for a gambler to stay consistent with winning. Gambling is a game of chance and there is probability of winning and losing. No gambler will always be lucky at all time so seeing gambling as a source of income or thinking that it is possible to remain consistent with winning is wrong.

Gambling isn’t naturally not dangerous, but the real danger of gambling is seen when gamblers cease to see it as a means of entertainment and start looking at it and treating it as an escape route or a way to change their financial status. At this point, it becomes very easy for emotion to set in, and when that happens, it becomes very easy to forget the risks associated with gambling and they develop that mindset that one more bet could actually fix their losses and that’s the point where the problem usually begins.

That's right, gambling, as a form of entertainment, is certainly not dangerous if done in moderation. Unfortunately, many people overdo it, leading to problems, whether significant losses or even a gambling addiction.
Thinking that one more bet will improve the situation by winning, for example, only leads to repeating the behavior, with the likely outcome being a loss.

And this is the very mindset that leads a gambler very easily to addiction. Having such a mindset just as you said would only make the gambler to keep on repeating the same process over and over again, regardless of the negative outcomes it produces, until it suddenly becomes a habit and from habit it becomes an addiction that’s impossible to break free from. And all this begins when the gambler’s mindset is fixated upon making some extra bucks rather than just for entertainment.

The main thing is in the mindset, when we apply the wrong mindset towards gambling then addiction becomes a certain thing that will happen, in fact it can be said that addiction is a guarantee that will definitely happen and will be experienced by those who have the wrong mindset and yes it will become an impulsive habit and it may be difficult to get rid of it, but even so I am sure that changing for the better is possible because I myself have proven it as long as we have strong intentions and determination.

Eh, man is weak and, in fact, I can say that the worst battle is the battle with oneself. It's not difficult to fall into these traps, you win some money betting, then you think you can always do it. It's the first step in the recipe for distraction and destruction. In my opinion, the way to avoid falling into this trap is to think that it is only and exclusively a game of luck.

Sure, addiction isn’t the end of a man, it is merely a problem and if there’s one thing I know about problems, it’s the fact there’s always a solution or alternatively a way to manage the situation. The first step to solving the problem of addiction is acknowledging the fact that you’re addicted and acknowledging that you need help, the first step of solving any problem is identifying the problem, so if you e identified the problem then you can seek for helpful solutions to resolve the problem. There are dozens of ways to tackle gambling addictions and if the victim can only have determination and adhere to those instructions and guidelines, the. It’ll only require time before he returns back to normal.

There's really no specific idea or method for gambling responsibly and safely. The bottom line, regardless of the scenario, is that responsible and safe gambling requires accepting risks, not getting emotional when losing, and not chasing losses.

Everything is easier to control when you're not emotionally involved, and the only way to prevent gambling from becoming emotional is by not making winning your top priority. This means being more prepared to accept losses than wins.

The key to truly responsible gambling is to control your emotions and learn to accept losses, I think accepting losses is the hardest thing, but accepting them is the most important thing. By accepting losses, you will not exceed your limits, so if you stop at the right time, there will be no more addiction or major losses. Then gambling will remain a healthy form of gambling, and will not cause any major losses, it will continue to entertain you safely.

You're right. It's not the end of life, it's just a problem that occurs, but on a more severe scale. However, there is a solution if you truly have the will and determination to recover.
And in my opinion, recovery in this case of addiction can be achieved without any help, and it depends on whether we have strong determination or are easily swayed.
I think your statement here is excellent, a very targeted suggestion. And yes, every problem has a solution, even the most significant.

Even if this is possible, I think it’ll be very difficult for the victim because recovery is always easier and faster when you get help from people who are experienced in the field or who has walked that same path before. Since it is still a new experience, it might take you quite some time to figure it out on your own, and most times it can even be impossible to figure it out without help. Anyways, it depends on the victim’s level of addiction, and this is why it is advised to seek help, as this helps facilitate recovery.

There had been times when even if you stop taking drugs like Alcohol for example then you can relapse in future it has happened with a lot of people if not all..

I have visited a center of NA (narcotics anonymous not the AA) talked to counsellors they’ve mentioned all it take is remembering post drinking experience and not being able to resist the temptation will be the cause of being relapsed.

Gambling’s the same here the thrilling experience of winnings, or just imagening the thrill of gambling many if not all will give into the temptation of this experience.. Winning or losing is a different thing but gambling all by itself is given a bad reputation in many places, some have even banned it..

All it takes is a habit of gambling and you’re basically ruined.. just like you have raise the the dose of drugs to feel the same high (AA, NA) you will at some point will not he satisfied with the small winnings and end up gambling a huge balance, you’ll somehow have to get rid of the temptation inside the mind for this it’s even harder simce you’ve tasted the fruit(Not every time will you be lucky in those bets..) Casinos take advantage of this.

Someone also told me habits can only be replaced since they were, or are a part of your experience (.. and that stays with you).

The best way to gamble is to gamble for the fun of it and not to make money off gambling, I know this is hard for most people but taking money away from gambling will give us great satisfaction so for sure to gamble on the safer side we need to always check the limits at which we put profits in front.


Having a responsible gambling life is a lifelong journey that requires discipline and dedication to apply all the roles that keep you on the safe side while gambling.

Practicing healthy lifestyle gambling will not only give gamblers satisfaction but will also be of benefit to their health, as they won't undergo much mental stress.
Also, it's safer and good for gamblers to set limits on how they gamble as it will help and support them to know when to call it a quit or stop when gambling, which will prevent not to spend carelessly and won't add any value to their lives but it will lead them to frustration and depression, which might cause them sudden death.

That's right since they go and exceed to their limits it will not be hard to them to keep repeating that same mistake over and over as the chance of getting aggressive will keep pushing them to keep adding more, though there's some situation where they'll be able to win some but another misconception may take place, thinking that it's their winning chance now and pushing for more instead of quitting will hit them badly as they'll missed that and will lose back again and the cycle will continue.

I think this is where the real danger of gambling lies. After losing people get emotional instead of thinking clearly. Then they think that if they deposit a little more they will recover the previous loss but in reality it is exactly the opposite. As the money increases, the loss also increases, and they themselves get caught in a trap, the most terrible thing is that even if they win occasionally they have the wrong idea in their head that this time they might turn around. This false hope pulls people deeper. After a while, they lose again, then add again then despair again. In my opinion losing in anything means deciding to stop, the one who can do this is not in control of gambling, but of himself and the one who cannot, slowly harms himself.

Most of those gamblers who mismanaged thier finances suffer in losing more than what they can afford to let go, most of the time if a gambler can't accept the outcome the usual reaction is to add more to their bankroll and re-try their luck, some may win and recover but failed to control their emotions then lose it back again after they continue playing instead of qutting to take their money out.

This kind of mentality will keep them engage to gambling and in long run might lead them into deeper addiction then lose more money with their gambling participation.

Some gamblers started gambling because of entertainment, while some started because of money
And gamblers that started because of either of these a result of how they where introduced to it, or how they knew it.

Some knew it as a form of entertainment probably his friends told him there's a place to have fun and at that point he gets to see it that way, (as a form of entertainment) although most gamblers that started for this reason sometimes Change the way they see it, probably because of some wins that they earn, and at that point it felt good where by shifting their perspective from entertainment to money making,  so this is to make you understand that it's discipline that will keep the way you see gambling fixed.

Meanwhile there are some gamblers that where introduced to gambling with the desire of money. These once have a fixed purpose in gambling already which is wrong and these sets don't Chang perspective at all except they are discipline.
So which one do you fall under?

You hear success stories because of failure. Just like you lose, there is a chance that you can win by gambling. So I think no one gambles to lose. Everyone gambles to make themselves happy and gambles thinking that even if they don't gain much, they don't lose a lot. But the reality is quite different, it is seen that many people win a good amount of money while gambling and many people lose a very large amount. I have a friend who became rich overnight and became poor overnight by gambling. It is a completely personal matter to make yourself happy.
