How gambling addiction develops

[SmartGold01]

Gamblers are fully aware of all those stages but not withstanding, anyone that still wants to be addicted, would be addicted. I always say that, before a gambler becomes addicted, they always see the signs and symptoms but they become they ignored it and becomes extremely blinded by their wins or losses and then they allow their emotion to control their decision. One way to overcome all of that is to learn how to control your emotions, always be self determined and conscious never to take unhealthy decisions while gambling.

I think they aren't that aware of it otherwise no one would fall into addiction, the thing is they don't know when the addiction starts showing up in them. For instance, when they start playing some games online and probably they find such game interesting, you wouldn't be surprised how they could get carried away by the sweetness of the game and at this point they don't know is addictions. Like I do say; the excessiveness of everything or anything causes and gives birth to addiction but most people aren't that careful towards their operations and activities while gambling and we must know when to limit and stop gambling.

Most gambling addicts are simply not in control of their addictions and such has blinded their instincts this is why you have to accept the fact that not all cases of addictions are notable by the victims and anyone who is addicted and knows, means he can easily get out of that addictions since he acknowledged the fact and will be working towards his libration, unlike those set of addicts that have constantly embraced and buried in their addictions, their beliefs are basic and static that there are doing the right thing whereas there are no longer in control of the emotions and character.

Yes because they allowed their activities to blind them entirely and like I know whomever that has gotten to that stage would always find it difficulties while gambling and if time not taken, you would see them finding it difficult to move of that addiction and of course Many of them doesn't have a total control of themselves rather, they are being hold by illusion that winning is possible and whatever they do online could possibly give them winning whereas they are sinking down into addiction.

Quite unfortunate that such have become the reality for many people and for some reason I think greed happens to be one of the fueling factors that drive gamblers faster into addictions for sure a lot of the gambling disorder Cases are a result of greedy gambler's trying to chase a particular direction repeatedly and without any form of limit control which resulted into uncontrollable gambling habits and all the negative attributes that comes with it along the way.

Greed is something that always attributes to how quickly people gets addicted to gambling, again we must also know that whatever that involves money greed are always spotted over there and if not properly regulated or controlled it would easily create addiction to people who are not that using their common initiatives to gamble at all time. Greed, emotions needs to properly handle because whatever we do within ourselves are subjected to how we control our emotions and if not properly controlled then it gives birth to addiction which we could likely find it hard to control, and if properly handled then it would be that difficult to get into addiction.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

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

[Ojima-ojo]

The level of additions changes as the gambler keeps gambling and making moves, this is why it has to grow from one stage to another, at first the gambler will notice a change in their gambling behavior like how and when they take risks and which games they practically risk on.


If they move and graduate into the next stage which is the stage of speeds and unbalanced spending this is the point that the gamblers have become full-blown addicts.

[I_Anime]

Yeah during the winning stage one began to develop the mindset of thinking they can actually get rich just by gambling each day because gambling sessions has been moving smooth for them , making them to think that luck will be by their side all time , so they will keep gambling frequently with the aim of keep winning and earning some extra bucks but the moment they will start experiencing losses they will start losing it with the hope that their winning era will come back , but most of them usually loss it before they will have the chance to experience another winning era.

This is the reason why losing money in someone's initial gambling sessions can be a life saver for them because if they lose in the initial stage, they wouldn't have this mindset that they can make money from gambling, and if they won't have this mindset, they wouldn't keep coming back for more, and every time they think of gambling, they will remember the first session where they lost money, and this will discourage them not to gamble because it's nothing but a waste of money.

Those who win initially when they start gambling will have a higher chance of getting addicted to gambling or losing more money than they've won in the long run. Some might turn their backs on it after some time, but it generally doesn't happen and such people will keep getting deeper into it over time until a time comes when they can't stay away from gambling.

Actually gambling addiction do comes in gradual process, it doesn't comes at a time but how to control it in the early stage is always a problem that most gamblers normally having. Because though they would be seeing it as something that very common without realizing that as day goes by that is how they getting more addicted in gambling. So however, I think it's essential to understand when you are getting addicted to gambling and prevent yourself from it, because that is the only way a gambler can be free addiction.

If a person has an income source and takes some money from that income source and gambles, then gradually his gambling addiction will reach a severe level. Because in this case, he does not need any additional tension to manage the money for gambling. The easier a person can manage gambling money, the more intense their gambling addiction will be, and the more difficult it will be for them to break free from their gambling addiction.

Exactly, I have seen some gamblers who are interested in gambling regularly even though they have lost. There are some who believe that luck will definitely favor them in gambling at some point. They can earn a lot of money from gambling but in the case of some gamblers, only the number of losses increases. But they still gamble by trusting in their belief. In this way, a gambler gradually becomes more addicted to gambling. They face more and more losses.

[Rockstarguy]

Yes because they allowed their activities to blind them entirely and like I know whomever that has gotten to that stage would always find it difficulties while gambling and if time not taken, you would see them finding it difficult to move of that addiction and of course Many of them doesn't have a total control of themselves rather, they are being hold by illusion that winning is possible and whatever they do online could possibly give them winning whereas they are sinking down into addiction.

The reason why so many gamblers are being controlled by greed is because they lack the understanding of gambling which makes them t think that money can always be achieved in gambling. Some gamblers with lack of understanding, even as they play and are lucky to win some amount of gambling,  instead of them to take a break and come back some other time , they would prefer to keep gambling to get a bigger win. The lack of understanding of gambling has been the reason why people are so greed in gambling.

Well, the idea is always about, that big win is at the corner. Better to stay on track and hope it finds you than testing several markets. More often than we think, it never happens but, the gambler is always hopeful, never relents from trying again and again, chasing same market. Just wants to hit it big when it hits and that’s how you continue to fuel the desire to chase after a shadow that would elude you the more.

Indeed. The experience of winning in gambling can be the start for a person to develop gambling addiction. It's because of their mindset that it's not hard to win (since he/she already experienced it) and it can happen in snap. So why would someone go for a regular job if they can earn in gambling? That's their thoughts. Unfortunately, losing is inevitable, and this can change the way they gamble that can lead to addiction. For spending what you can't afford to lose and for chasing back the past losses.

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.

Because it will be difficult to get out of it once you are in it. Gambling addiction could create such a mess in our life and borrowing money will only be the first. After a person cannot borrow anymore, then evil thoughts will come. Stealing. This is where we should really think about what we are supposed to do or better before we even take the first loan. Think twice if it is for good or it's just for bad habits like gambling. If the reason ain't worth much then I think we should forget about doing it. Thankfully, I didn't come to this phase when I was playing a lot of slot games. I just messed up my budget but I did think twice after I saw how much I lost and I stopped playing.

At that moment, when I just got into this process with my head, I didn’t think about the consequences that awaited me. Everything happened as if in a fog. I liked this business. I could sit in a casino for days and not think about anything. It helped me to distract myself from pressing problems and daily responsibilities. It was as if I was in another world that fenced me off from everything, but this was a mistaken opinion.

Since then, I have come to understand that at that time I could have done differently. But time cannot be turned back and mistakes cannot be corrected. This will be a lesson and a harsh experience that will now accompany me for the rest of my life. Yes, it is hard to remember this, but the fact remains a fact.

There's always that denial when we do speak about being addicted on which people or gamblers will really be that always keep saying into themselves that they are still that in control on which this is really that very common but at the time or moment that you have been showing off those kind of acts or behavior then this will really be that signifying that you are already gradually become one and people around will really be the ones will be able to notice it out and this is what you should really be that trying out to listen into, because if there are already some signs that showing that you are excessively doing up gambling on having no control then you would definitely that ending up later on as a big problem specially with finances. This is why you should really be that so careful when it comes into this case.

Saying greed is a trigger for addiction is a fact that I think is quite accurate, because most people who gamble with greed in themselves tend to become addicted to gambling and even that can last for a long time. This greed has become human nature, everyone has their own greed in various things, although it is certainly true that people will be greedy in terms of profit or money.
the number of people who are addicted to gambling is not without reason, of course they become addicted there is a trigger, either greed or not being able to accept themselves experiencing defeat.

I think greed is the main factor why most gamblers still fall or still lead to addiction. Just imagine if there was no greed entering the minds of individual gamblers,
do we think there would still be an addiction that would enter or become an addicted gambler in the future?

But greed will not disappear for sure because in my opinion this greed is also the reason why many gambling businesses are getting profit from gamblers playing on their
gambling platforms whether it is online or offline casinos, what do you think dude?

Of course, greed is part of it but that is not all. Remember we also have addicted smokers, drunkard, womaniser etc which I believe we can not link these addiction to greed. Addiction emanate as a result of self control. When someone doesn't have control of themselve when they are engaging with things like this especially gambling in particular which deals with emotions, they end up getting addicted being carried away by the potential win involved.

There are still genuine gamblers who are not addicted but still gambling and lose huge amount of money to gambling platforms enriching the industry. Most addict are not well to do people by the way, they gamble often but with little or any penny that comes their way. It's still a win for the industry thou since every decimal matter in gambling.

I believe gambling addiction stems from some unsatisfied needs, and that addiction is just coping mechanism to satisfy that need indirectly. It may be the need to change ones life, or to escape or distract himself, every addict must look into himself to find it out what is his source of addiction.

But we need to make clear distinction from gambling addict and casual gambler. The difference is control over gambling and compulsive need to gamble.

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.
