How gambling addiction develops

[Gozie51]

Of course most gamblers are deeply addicted into gambling yet they have not figured out if they're addicted or not, sometimes if they experience lose in gamble they start panicking then after panicking instead of them to give it a break for sometime they will still decide to continue and in a situation like this they will be so ignorant to know that this is a sign of addiction and then limit from it in the initial time. Moreover, addiction does not happen all of a sudden rather it takes a lot of time before one can still get addicted into something. Which is why most people always find it very difficult to figure out if they're addicted or not because since they have been doing it more often is now part of them.

Chasing/desperation phase: This is about the third phase that Op narrated. Not taking a break is because you either feel you have lost alot and you don't have time to waste anymore, hence the need to start chasing back what has been lost. Gamblers all the time do this unintentionally but because they need to recover but not knowing they are getting addicted whereas walking away would have safed the situation. When you walk away for the moment, it gives you that review of your mistake and you can take a new decision that can help you next time. But that drive to run after lost money won't give you that knowledge.

When you are on desperation phase then it will really be that so hard to control your emotions on which this will really be that giving out that kind of push for you to play even further. You are the ones will really be making out such thinking whether you will really be that making yourself trying out to play even more or would completely stop at the moment that you have lost it all. How gambling addiction develops? On the moment that you do have that mentality about making yourself getting rich with gambling then this will really be that giving out that kind of urge to play further and you do want to have that recovery. People do make out some learning at the time that they had experienced some losing money situation and not on the time that they are currently playing and having that kind of winning moment. They cant think up that well on how things should be done.

Addiction can develop from one stage to another when we fail to take some serious actions against it, we have to be well prepared for it, that whenever we are observing for addiction, it is necessary that we take some extra steps in knowing what next in line to do or act, because gambling can turned to a frustration the moment a gamblers becomes addicted and lots about him is being affected at the cause, we should be on guard against any related indiscipline from advancing

Usually, gamblers don't think that what they are doing now could elevate to the worst scenario. Some just know how bad it is when already suffering.

We also know that we all are prone to addiction because of our greed. Whether we agree or not, this is our biggest enemy and common cause of major losses. That is why we are encouraged to become a responsible gambler as much as possible. We might not escape from losing, but at least we are not in a situation where we fall into the trap of addiction.

Yeah, admit it or not greed is the common factor from those gamblers who got addicted, thinking that they can make it easy taking a shortcut to be rich, they only realize the mistake when they've got an empty pockets. Some may not agree that they've got addicted trying to find explanation but the reality is that they unable to control their emotions.

If you can't accept your defeats then better not to resort to this venue, more or less you'll be move of your emotions and potentially you'll suffer more than what you can afford to let go..

positivity in life is good but sometimes we need to control it as well because the thing is no gambler thinks of the worst case scenario when they are gambling they are always thinking of the things they can have once they win like if they were to for example hit the jackpot they are already planning the things they can do with the prize money without thinking of what could happen if they lost

We might not escape from losing, but at least we are not in a situation where we fall into the trap of addiction.

we will always lose it is inevitable but make sure that losing does not put you in the deepest pit of life

losing is fine as long as it will not impact your life in a way that you can never recover from

If you ever need to make a gambling schedule that goes beyond your predetermined decision, you should stop gambling instead of continuing to gamble, regardless of the profit. This will be frustrating for you at that time but the immediate positive decision will give you a new idea and motivation to keep doing what you should do to increase your winnings. For gamblers, any unintentional mistake can lead them to continue losing more money as becoming addicted and spending more time on it or allocating more money to play again and again when they win.

To protect themselves from addiction, gamblers should make decisions outside their own system such as refraining from excessive gambling and taking breaks from gambling against their will.

Positivity is definitely important, being positive helps you think positive and stay in the right mood, but you also have to control it.
To think that there can't be a difficult moment or a moment where you make a mistake is unrealistic in my opinion.
You have to be positive even in failures

[lizarder]

CONCLUSION: Gambling may be a great problem if adequate measure isn't take. One should just to observe himself/herself for necessary changes in case one observed he/she is gradually becoming an addict.

The reality is that it is difficult to control if someone does not have much more productive activities and sees gambling as a place to make money is a failure in thinking because they will continue to be possessed by thoughts that cannot be controlled. At this stage self-control becomes the key and even if gambling is an activity that is considered to be fun, without full control it will make them closer to addiction.

That is why it is much better to gamble at certain times and see the moment to get involved in it so that people can control it much more easily and will not continue to be in the desire to make money consistently influenced by desires that they are unable to control.

Yes, that's how addicted gamblers are, the main problem that must be overcome first is the ability to accept defeat because only with this will it be easier for them to control themselves and their emotions considering that these emotions often occur when they experience defeat.
Basically, addicted gamblers are those who are always greedy when they are in a winning situation and become losers when they are in a losing situation which makes them chase losses, and the solution to overcome the problem of difficulty in controlling oneself and greed in my opinion is only one, namely by accepting the fact that gambling is risky and also understanding that there is always no guarantee of winning.

Because of greed, a gambler gambles uncontrollably and moves towards addiction. A gambler, when he first gets a small win, his desire is created in his mind, his greed increases and he wants to get rich quickly by winning more. And from this stage, their disaster begins, because they can never win as expected, but even after losing so much, they cannot get out of gambling due to their greed. This mentality forces them to gamble more, but the gambler does not realize that this is only increasing their losses, but never giving them good results. Therefore, if self-control is not exercised in the first stage, this addiction will continue to deepen over time, and the gambler will face deeper losses.

It is not a must that a gambler should be chasing their loss or win. What happened to the gambling rules? Well, anyone who is chasing after their loss or win due to deperateness is already aware of the consequence. They don't care what will happen, and sine gambling is 50/50. They know if they are lucky they can recover what they lost, but if they lose, it is all gone. As long as they dont use above their bankroll to gamble, they can continue.

Most of the people that get addicted to gambling are the ones that have the belief that they can make money from gambling, so whenever they start gambling, all they are always after is the money which they are going to be making from gambling, so even when they are losing, they are always finding it so difficult to stop gambling, because they are always having the belief that if they don’t give up, they are going to hit a jackpot. Most of those gamblers are always having some people which are always motivating them, but they don’t know that gambling doesn’t work like that. If you are a gambler, and you are desperate to make money from gambling, then don’t be surprise that you might not be making money.

You have to be positive even in failures

Positive in failures have a few meanings and I agree if by this saying you mean to behave carefully and not chase loses is a great advice. If you mean that stay positive it suggests to keep chasing loses this is the worse advice and the fastest way to misery and poverty. I think that addiction develops when you don't know what you want or what you are chasing and that is when addiction start to kick in. As long as we stay positive in the first meaning here things should remain calm and totally under our control. We must not push beyond boundaries we know will impact us badly.

If you are a gambler, and you are desperate to make money from gambling, then don’t be surprise that you might not be making money.

When someone has the belief that they will be able to make money from gambling, of course it will make them bet more often, of course it will make them addicted to gambling and when they have become addicted, of course it will make it difficult for them to leave the gambling, especially since they still expect a big win from every bet played.

If most of our surroundings are gamblers, of course it will always encourage us to continue betting when we experience defeat from the bets we play. Indeed, it is not the right thing if we want to make money from gambling because there will always be defeat after experiencing the victory we get from gambling.

Having this notion that you must recover what you lost in gambling is shooting yourself on the foot multiple times. It isn't bad to make an error, trying to cover up for that error leads to greater troubles. It's important you note that chasing loses to recover wasted funds can never guarantee the gambler a positive result, negatives are more prone to be the outcome which is terrible financial loss and possible frustration and depression for the gambler.

It's important you develop the habit of having a gambling budget and funding the casino with what you're prepared to lose only to avoid chasing loses.

Such class of gambling addicts are the ones that it impossible they out of their addictions since they are not aware of and for that it hard to get them out of their addictions, we have two classes of gambling addicts, we have the ones that are core addict in ambler are already deeply affected by their gambling addictions but yet failed to acknowledge the fact that their dip into gambling so no aim or plans to overcome such an addiction anytime now or shortly, that is addicted and accept the fact that there are having addiction problems and their are working towards getting out of the addictions.

You're right walking away when you're no longer comfortable with it can safe one from being addicted, because is going to make you to realize your mistake just like as you said. and of course that's how it is when you made a mistake of course you will need to stop for the main time so as to make some correction before you will think of to continue. Because once a mistake is been made and you just continue without even trying to make amend, definitely the mistake will be continuously and before you will realize what you're doing by then you must have messed up the whole thing.

No guarantee at all, and yes if you understand the risk and you able to accept your defeats in case you lose then there's no problem in terms of developing addictions. Most gamblers who unable to control their greed and frustrations mostly are the one who chased money when being involved into gambling, they can't move forward and forget whatever the outcome but instead they will keep pushing for the reason of pleasing their gambling participation.

That mentality leads them to dream big and hope that luck will permits them to collect decent amount of money out from the casino, but while chasing for that they've lost a lot and if by chance they've been given the chance instead of quitting and enjoy they'll push for more as they think they'll be able to win more.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

It's important you develop the habit of having a gambling budget and funding the casino with what you're prepared to lose only to avoid chasing loses.

It's just as simple as you have said it but some people can not be so disciplined to stick to their budgets, they could actually agree that they will only gambling with small amount that they can afford to lose but at the end, they can get emotional and start to chase after losses with the money  they have promised themselves not to touch. If only some people can learn to remain discipline and not lose control they will not develop addiction.

[nara1892]

Most gamblers who unable to control their greed and frustrations mostly are the one who chased money when being involved into gambling, they can't move forward and forget whatever the outcome but instead they will keep pushing for the reason of pleasing their gambling participation.

Of course, actually a gambler can stay in the comfort zone without experiencing stress, pressure and other mental problems if for example they have the two things I mentioned above, namely realizing that gambling is risky and also understanding that there is no guarantee of winning in every game session. Another thing, yes, I agree with you that rationally those who always chase victory or who are emotional when they lose are gamblers who have come from the beginning to seek victory, so it is natural that for example they feel emotional when they lose, honestly before I have been in the wrong approach like that to gambling and believe me you will feel significant pressure most of the time and that is the reason why many people suggest only making gambling a place of entertainment.

It's just as simple as you have said it but some people can not be so disciplined to stick to their budgets, they could actually agree that they will only gambling with small amount that they can afford to lose but at the end, they can get emotional and start to chase after losses with the money  they have promised themselves not to touch. If only some people can learn to remain discipline and not lose control they will not develop addiction.

It goes into revenge gambling mode to make up for the losses that occurred before and will certainly create a new problem when the losses continue to occur.
It becomes more emotional and irrational anymore so that no matter how much money is put in then they will only play for a win that will not be achieved in the end.

Seeing people in my neighborhood playing illegal online casinos and then continuing to lose that in the end they keep playing to take it money again, but they will only lose more.
