Gambling addiction have a control

[GeorgeJohn]

Most people in the forum, takes gambling addiction serious, and they seems gambling addiction as a crime, but I want some people to know that gambling addiction has a control measure, if you want to understand gambling really without be indicted in gambling, you have to make a budget neither weekly/ monthly

If we have statistics of what we wish to gamble weekly/monthly, we can't be addicted in the gambling, secondly, to reduce gambling addiction, we need to know that we have to reduce our expectations on gambling, and also gamble with what we can afford to lose

Having serious engagement on activities, it will also help us to reduce the level of our commitment in the gambling, lacks of jobs make people to be addicted in gambling, because they will one side of generating money, and all their efforts will be on gambling and it's obvious that if you engage on gambling that much you will definitely be a gambling addict.

There are gamblers who have been gambling for years and have never been addicted to gambling. There are those who gamble for some a few months and they are struggling with its addiction. It is a matter of principle. The principle acts like the gambling addiction stopper. And you have already pointed them out in the OP. Gambling is a fun activity that everyone should enjoy just like when you go the stadium to watch your favorite team. When the game ends regardless of who wins or losses, you leave the stadium. This is how gambling is supposed to be. After all the fun, know when to leave.

you have to make a budget neither weekly/ monthly

The problem for most people has not been making a budget but has been keeping a budget. Will lack the discipline to follow a budget even after they've made it.

Having serious engagement on activities,

Even if the engagements is not very serious, I believe that engagement or being involved in other activities for fun will help you not to become addicted to gambling because there are people who have claimed to want to gamble for fun, and they ended up becoming addicted. Having other activities will help you manage your time.

I believe that lot of people do not really implement things we do here discussed over here so serious to implement them to their lives. There have been several talks about gambling addiction but if with the way peoples talks about addiction then no one person from this forum should suffer for addiction because the forum here and especially the gambling discussion sections covers a wider range of discussions that talks about addiction, but for sure one thing making people easily fall so flat is as the cause of having no addition means of income and they are solely relying on gambling to make and earns meet. Any person like this doesn't waste time becoming that addictive to whatever they are doing that is why it's always advisable to distance whatever you are doing sometimes to give you space and also distract your attention from focusing on a particular thing.

To avoid gambling addiction, I believe we must change our relationship with it, seeing it as mere entertainment rather than a solution to problems. Beyond planning our expenses, we should focus our minds on productive activities that keep us away from excess. It's crucial to recognize that gambling doesn't guarantee income and shift our attention to stable jobs or other endeavors. Ultimately, reducing the time spent gambling and finding balance in our routines is key, as the goal is to maintain control. Addictions aren't crimes, but they must be taken seriously because they can ruin lives.

I think this had been discussed many times in this section although I believe it's not wrong to keep reminding people about how to make it under control. I agree that we need a certain amount of money to budget for the day or the week. That way we can keep it under control and we will stop once its depleted. But we also have to add a winning point. Some will be happy just to double their momey and others go pass that number. There should be a point on when we are satisfied with the winnings and withdraw then not coming back for a day or two.

I believe that responsible gambling can be a control to gambling addiction because responsible gambling entails all as it pertains to one staying free of gambling addiction, and this requires one to have a gambling budget and also to make sure they follow up with their mapped out guidelines as they have clearly stated to abide by while gambling and also, they should be disciplined enough to quit when it is time for them to do so and avoid anything that would keep them at the gambling house nor casino extra time after gambling and exhausting their budget. Indeed, addiction is not a crime, but the truth is that addiction is worse than one could imagine if it sets in their lives and no remedy to control it leads to final destruction of the gamblers life.

Gambling is not a crime but is considered a form of entertainment if it is within people's control. It is also necessary to accept that if anything is under control, it is certainly good for people, but when it crosses the limit, it can have a bad effect on people. When excess fat accumulates in the body, it can definitely have a bad effect on humans. Just as a certain amount of body fat is good for the human body, gambling is certainly important for entertainment if it is within limits. But when gambling gets out of control and reaches a point where it is affecting a person mentally, it is not considered a good thing. If a family is poor and someone in it is addicted to gambling, it will definitely have a negative impact on the family. If someone is addicted to gambling and there is no possibility of engaging in criminal activities to manage their gambling money, then gambling is definitely a pastime for that person. But for gamblers for whom gambling is a source of income and there is a possibility of engaging in criminal activities to manage their gambling money, then gambling is definitely a heinous crime.

Gambling addiction is a serious issue, something can affect every aspect of our lives. So here, we share advice to help prevent addiction because ignoring it can lead to severe consequences which could lead to losing jobs, some even end up in the streets. however when we look at the bigger picture, gambling addiction is not widely recognized as a major crisis which is why the gambling industry continues to flourish, otherwise, casinos would have been shut down long ago.

But ultimately, it all comes down to individual responsibility and  how we manage our gambling habits and ensure we don’t fall into addiction.

That’s why when we play in a casino, we often see reminders to "gamble responsibly."
It’s what they promote, even though they know we are likely to lose.

[mirakal]

It’s not the gambling addiction has its own control, but we gamblers have the full control on it. If we fall onto gambling addiction, that’s certainly our choice, the casino was never at fault with it. This is why we need to gamble with discipline. If we can’t be a disciplined gambler, falling into this addiction will be certain. Responsible gambling will always go along being a disciplined one.

Maybe what is meant is more compulsive gambling, in this case it is an addiction to gambling that is not controlled. because in reality, there are many cases of compulsive gambling addiction that are indeed very worrying. even ending in a very bad condition, not only for the gambler but also for the family and the people around him.

when someone can still control and manage the emotion, the risk, the strategy, and the willingness to gamble, it means they are still in a normal gambling situation, or maybe even as professional traders. But unfortunately not all gamblers can do this and become compulsive with their addiction, unable to manage conditions and everything, but unable to stop gambling either. so, minus many times.

There are gamblers who have been gambling for years and have never been addicted to gambling. There are those who gamble for some a few months and they are struggling with its addiction. It is a matter of principle. The principle acts like the gambling addiction stopper. And you have already pointed them out in the OP. Gambling is a fun activity that everyone should enjoy just like when you go the stadium to watch your favorite team. When the game ends regardless of who wins or losses, you leave the stadium. This is how gambling is supposed to be. After all the fun, know when to leave.

Yeah, when you gamble with the intention of making profit almost every time in the gambling, I believe that the person will be addicted, because immediately it loses in the gambling for the First time, it will try to gamble again, and once it lose more than what they expected Lose, they will be pushing to recover what they lost, and that leads some gamblers into addiction

Secondly, when you gamble to catch a fun, you can never be addicted on gambling, I know very well that gambling is all about what calculations,  so if you calculate wrongly in the gambling, the person will end up been a gambling addict.

There are controls to addiction but gambling addicts don't make use of them.

[crwth]

I believe you shouldn’t call it gambling addiction anymore if you have control of it because that sounds so of knowing that it is called addiction. It should just be a hobby for anyone who is in control of their gambling.

And, of course, all the security measures for yourself to control it is part of it, and if you can control it, that’s not an addiction

[Odusko]

I have not read in any national or regional laws that gamblers get criminal punishment for gambling so I wonder how that statement of becoming addicted is a crime, gambling addiction is a negative dimension of gambling and we all kick against it as much as we can and we should not encourage it but then we can say that gambling addiction is not a crime as per se so we need to make that clear for all to understand.

[WeedGoW]

Being a gambling game is extremely dramatic national is extremely difficult to get out of it. And most people come to gambling in fun but it becomes addiction and eventually lost all of his. And there are some people who control his emotions and catch these bets he eventually benefits. I say that if you violate the limit to stay within the limit by keeping emotion control all the time, you can lose all the money. And cannot be in any way into addiction. One important thing is that you must increase awareness. And you always have to keep a small budget that you will bet in one month. And if you can profit from there, good and if you are losing, you have to stay in your budget and if you bet again, if you lose money, you can be in danger and your family is in danger, keeping everything in mind.

People don't get addicted because they are jobless; people don't get addicted because they don't make gambling budgets; people don't get addicted because they just want to be addicted to gambling; they get addicted because they can't control their gambling habit. That's not because they don't set budgets but because they are not strong enough to control themselves from getting addicted.

Getting addicted to gambling has to do with personality; you can still start gambling with others setting out the same rules and get one who can be left out among others and choose to follow a different path. Gambling addiction is a serious thing and should be regarded as such. If you can control your gambling habit, then you are not an addicted gambler.

Well this type of advice has been repeatedly said but people still keep on getting addicted despite these control measures, while some people who adopt those method has stopped gambling addiction. So it depends on individual and how they take things seriously. If a person wan to get addicted, he will get addicted but if he doesn't want to get addicted he can also stop but the fact is that everyone can not be thesame when it comes to decision making. I know many people who set budget of the amount to bet weekly but still they get addicted.

Gamblers who haven't become addicted to gambling? I don't think we can say they are not addicted gamblers even if you have been gambling for years because addicted gamblers always come back to gamble again, so a gambler you've been thinking is addicted for so many years. The only difference is he does have self-control and self-discipline; unlike other gambling addicts, they don't have control over all of their emotions in the casino that is why they end up broke and experiencing anxiety or depression due to losses. Unlike a well-disciplined gambler, they can control these emotions and know when to stop.

[Ziskinberg]

When you treat gambling as entertainment, you won’t spend too much time on it. You gamble for enjoyment, but your main focus should always be on what truly matters, your source of income.

Of course, addiction is possible, especially for those who are desperate for money and mistakenly believe that gambling can become a reliable source of income. Our mindset about gambling can lead us into serious trouble, so as long as we have the right perspective, there won’t be any problem that will come.
