Responsible, and Safe Gambling.

[alastantiger]

Most 'responsible gambling' articles focus on how to gamble less, not on why people actually succeed in stopping. Real success stories usually aren't built on reading a post once, they come from a shift in awareness and structure. From what I have seen people who manage to stop or regain control usually do a few practical things: they clearly identify why they gamble and remove that trigger, they replace the habit with something that gives a similar outlet without the financial risk, they stop viewing gambling as entertainment or a solution to emotional problems and treat it as a high-risk activity with a predictable downside. All these usually come from a moment of clarity or a painful loss or when they realized the long-term cost. External advice can help but only when it aligns with an internal decision to change.

I also isolated these very points for myself after reading numerous articles about gamblers, bettors, and their woes. While each story seems unique, certain themes run through them: lying to loved ones and sudden mood swings due to rapidly changing deposit balances.
A shattered psyche and emotional state due to rapid outcomes—for example, slots can quickly cause the gambler to experience both joy and despair, leaving them completely emotionless for several hours by the end of the evening. And, of course, something akin to a split personality, despair, and a fall to the bottom. Where not everyone can push off and rise again.

Exactly the best way to win in gambling is to actually play it safe , because we are all aware  of the uncertainty in gambling so Is better to play safe and focus more on risk management. It may reduce your chances of winning much and same time reduce the chances of  losing too .

Because if you focus more on winning more you will definitely lose more,  because most time it lead to one gambling too frequently just in the name to hit the jackpot, and most time does not end well at all .

The most important is been moderate, we shouldn't push our luck as much as gambling is concerned. This is one thing gamblers don't have control over. Playing it safe may help a gambler not to incurred more loses that they can't never imagined. Some people do Gambling frequently will increase there chances of winning without also thinking that it will also increase there chances of losing. The best advice is not to overdo it, by being moderate.

I agree that moderation is the goal, and maybe one of solution to keep the control, but because when someone come from losing and try to stop sometime it will be hard. changing this habit wouldn't be easy. someone only able to control if they follow the way how to gamble with responsible without any tolerance. So, to make sure it will works, gambler must be set structural money management with no tolerance. if deposited money run out, stop the session no more trying to gamble again. because if he still have the feeling "maybe next deposit today luck with me" there is no moderate again the control has been broken. but with no tolerance, maybe gambler can reach the safe and responsible gamble activity.

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

In my own opinion about how a compulsive gambler can stop gambling is by finding a distraction that will take off he’s gambling mindset entirely,it may not necessarily be entirely but for a while.Gambling for profits has actually led a lot of gamblers astray,they don’t feel relaxed not until they gamble every minute with the probability of winning always but in the scenario the chances of losing is far higher than that of winning.Gambling for fun is one of the outstanding reason why a gambler wouldn’t get stuck in gambling for the long run.Just like I said earlier finding something that would take your whole day and eliminate the room for gambling is a way to stop or control one’s gambling habit.

There is no other choice but to be moderate, because chasing wins or losses will also be useless, instead of winning in the end you will actually lose a lot of money and that has been proven to be experienced by many gamblers.

In gambling anything can happen, even big wins that can change your life, but it can't be known when it comes and also can't be chased, so from now on it's better to gamble as much as you can, never force the situation, because when the time comes then you will also be able to get a big win like other gamblers.

This changes from person to person and nothing to do with age. If you think some 50 year old will have easier time being safe and responsible compared to 20 year old, you have not met enough people. I have seen people who are more mature at 20 year old than some people are at 50 years old, which is why I think it's quite possible for people to end up with results that would be very varied.

I personally had to learn the hard way by losing some money before I learned how to be more responsible when gambling. It wasn't an easy task but I managed to make it happen and for that reason I am feeling ok about it and not have any issues but I had to go through that painful period of losing a lot before I became like this.

I think the worst thing here is that the damage caused goes way beyond just financial. In fact money could only just be the surface symptom here, but the real damage often occurs internally. When folks begin to lie to their loved ones, it’s never intentional but a byproduct of fear and shame, and by doing this, they start to protect the habit rather than opening up so they can get help. At first the secrecy is just something done to escape from being scolded by their partner, but as it persists, it suddenly becomes part of them. And this here is where the gambler’s split personality feeling starts to  set in. A part of them is trying to be a regular person, while the other part is one that is already trapped and struggling with gambling, losses and false hope.

And indeed, I had never thought before about such a symptom as mood swings. I imagined everything as a more consistent depressive state, because a player still loses more than they win. Therefore, wins, even if they do happen, are not able to outweigh the sadness and irritation from losses. They are perceived not as a plus on an ycлoвнo zero balance, but as a way to cover an already existing deficit, which means those wins will always feel insufficient. But if a player is lucky and their balance between wins and losses is more or less maintained, then mood swings become almost inevitable, that is true.

Basically everyone has different reasons why they decide to gamble, maybe some are just for entertainment while trying their luck to win big money, some others want to find adrenaline, this feeling can only be felt when gambling and this can make them become addicts in gambling.

Another reason may be seen from an economic point of view, not a few people who want to try their luck in gambling on the pretext of wanting to increase income in a short time, but we know what the end result is, even if they win there will definitely be a sense of greed that causes total defeat.

The main point is the way you gambling.

Gamble or fun but don't gamble for pleasure

Gamble to make profits but don't gamble to make money

Gamble when your free but don't gamble to as a relaxation drugs

With these you are a safe gambler

Good points, always gambling to make money is going to turn you into an addict, some people gamble with the intention of becoming rich through it but this is a poor mentality to have. you can get some lucky wins from gambling but hoping that it would make you escape poverty is a delusional thought that can keep you trapped and addicted. I gamble with what I can afford to lose and not hoping to make money from it

Entertainment varies for different people, some are entertained when they take high risks which is very weird to me because I see a fun activity that's something that should not take much from you in other words it should be done moderately but that's not the case for some people...Responsible gambling should practiced and a lot of people need to recheck how they run their gambling activities, losing too much should not be fun at all

It is correct that the types of intertainment is vary person to person. But taking too much risk for the entertainment is useless to me. I never take such a risk for entertainment and I do not like and I never suggest taking this type of high risk. The entertainment should be less risk but high entertainment and it could be better if there is no risk.
