Gambling addiction have a control

[Zoomic]

In my opinion, addiction and control are two different things, simply put, if someone is addicted, it means they can no longer control themselves, it is a situation where they always ignore other things such as the activities they have even though it is an important activity for them such as their main job. Addiction is a situation where someone's interest in winning is very high, and when for example they can still control themselves such as setting limits or gambling with a minimum amount, it means they are not addicted, rationally I think that's the point

The moment anyone gets addicted, control isn't what should be talked about at that point. The main focus would be on how to help that person stop gambling for a while until he regains his senses.

Controlling addiction is an expensive joke, rather it is way cheaper to control your gambling habit when you are not yet addicted. I believe this is actually what OP was actually driving at and it is neccessary for gamblers to know the differences between these two and the possible implications involved in either of these two.

Greed is really the root cause of addiction, whether one makes a budget or not, whether he has a stable good paying job or not, he will still chase more money from gambling and ignore what pays him steady money. Truly, any man who has self control has really saved himself from lots of troubles.

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.

You have to do a job or an activity that you really love or you need to be focused because you want to achieve something like a project that if you completed you can expect a raise in salary and position. these are the things that will make you challenged and you will forget gambling for the time being.

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.

Having too much of it will make you addicted to it, so for you not to get addicted, spend just enough time and money that you will still have time for other things; do this and you are good to go.

Yeah you have said it as it is. If you have a source of income that generates good money for you, you will stop gambling after you have lost. Many people gamble because they want to earn money from it and they keep going back to it even when they are losing because they believe soon luck will shine on them. But if they were busy making money from other sources, they won't devote their time to gambling as they are not regular winners. There are people who win in gambling but that is a very low percentage and I have seen it alot with those who are losing, they tell you they will keep playing until they have recovered what they have lost and I don't know when that is possible. So one of the reason for addiction is the believe to earn money in gambling. If you are a busy person, you may gamble but not all the time and if you lose, you easily work away not chasing back your loses because you know you have means of getting money.

Honestly gambling addiction is bad due to the act people create when trying to fulfill the urge, surprisingly they go extra miles engaging in all sort of activity basically this is why gambling addiction can be seen as a bad habit. A crime is another strong word used and I don’t think addiction is considered as crime, controlling this habit is kind of difficult honestly it’s difficult quitting gambling especially when a person is addicted. Fighting against gambling when a person is not addicted doesn’t make any sense instead there’s a safety measure gamblers should follow so they don’t get addicted easily, as for those seeing gambling as a source of income are likely to get addicted quickly.

Gambling addiction can be controlled in many ways, people give up on themselves too easily thinking that there's no way out of their addiction. You need to take certain steps otherwise you'll continue struggling with this. First thing you must do is to have a budget, this would put you in check and keep you under control, although this Doesn't work for everyone but just in case this isn't effective enough for you try to block your betting accounts, restrict yourself from gaining access to casino sites, lock up your money in a fixed deposit account, these should help.

[Pandorak]

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

When a person has entered the phase of gambling addiction, the rules made will not be very useful especially the rules about gambling budget. As long as the money held is still in the form of savings or assets that are easy to withdraw, during that time risk management will not work well, even when they have no more money a gambler can have the crazy idea of borrowing from friends, family, this is the reality, i personally have been in this position, it is very difficult to overcome it.

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

It's easy to say but in practice this is difficult to do, a good way to overcome this is to buy investment items such as gold, etc. Maybe this is one of the best ways not to spend all the money.

The most important thing is actually the awareness of the gambler himself. Do you want to control your gambling, or do you want to leave gambling? If you want to control your gambling activities to be more controlled, then you must try to do all the restrictions and be consistent with it all. For someone who is already addicted, it will be very difficult to do it alone. Maybe putting someone to supervise our gambling activities is not a bad choice.
Locking the budget we have may be able to forcibly control gamblers to stop gambling. But I'm not so sure addicted gamblers have that kind of determination.

[Onyeeze]

Nothing that does not have a control so the thing is that the application of it how to apply it so that it will look decent, dumpling is controllable even though you are addicted or not, but I know quite well that gambling is all about risk, but their no way you can Gamble that you cannot control it even though you are addicted somebody in gambling so I believe on your suggestion and I have seen other reasons other people has suggested so it is left for us to decide or to know that gambling is controllable by our own measures

[bitbollo]

people addicted in gambling (the real addict people) are a minor part of total of gamblers. Probably less then 5% of the total amount.
This not means that ALL gamblers have a proper gamblinig strategy. You can loss or having mood change , playing silly bets wasting money even if you're not addicted.
People should know that addiction is serious as issue but its something rare. Meanwhile "bad gambling" is more frequent.

[Tmoonz]

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

Surely you may be right but keeping or setting aside some amount for weekly or monthly gambling and or betting does not guarantee not being addicted. Some people may still bet above their budget meaning that immediately their gambling budget get exhausted, they still fund some more amount and still continue gambling, provided they still have reserved fund. But however a serious minded person would control his emotion not to bet above his discretion. The inability to control emotion is the reason behind addiction, except a person makes a serious change otherwise addiction is a very strong attitude that control our emotion.

Generally this can be best described as being or approaching gambling with aggression, it is a big sign of addiction, in one way or the new gamblers tend to to be found doing this most than the old gamblers who understands the environment more better, another term that this can also be regarded as is chasing losses, controlling this can be very difficult especially for those that started gambling with the  mindset of making passive income. undoubtedly lack of self and emotional control increasees the chances of being addicted because naturally we can not the very fact that humans are inseparable from emotions. This vulnerability of being addicted in gambling can be reduce if we don't consider gambling to be a serious business.

Addiction is something that you can be able to observe or look at on your own on which this will really be that something that could be seen by other people on which basing up into the actions that you've been currently doing. We do really know that those people who are already addicted into gambling will always be having on that denial state on which they do really that believe on that they arent that addicted and would really be that still doing on what they are currently doing because inside of their minds on which they will really be that believing that they are really that still on control.

Literally on the moment that they will really be that stopping is on the time that you would really be that seeing yourself having no money that you would really be able to play on or simply already affecting out your financial status. Regrets do always come at the end and not on the beginning. Its not really that bad to gamble but make it sure that you wont really be that get addicted in the end of the day on which this is really be that the usual thing that do happen for most gamblers and this what makes this business so profitable.

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.

One thing I know is that gambling addiction is a product of individual willingness and ambitious aims, this is why we have put it in check all the time by making sure that all things being equal we never overdo anything in terms of time and money.


Most of the victims of gambling addictions are all formed from the class of those who never have limits to their gambling and who are guilty of chasing one direction such as chasing their losses or even profits at the same time.

The points you have been mention on your topic those are really workable in not to be addicted on gambling.

However, I disagree with your statement that there is a control measure for addiction, because I think there is no measurement for addiction. You are continuously engaging in irresponsible gambling, that means you are addicted and this is really not in good signal.
So I would say that we should strictly follow the points you mentioned while gambling so that we can consider ourselves as responsible gamblers. Otherwise, nothing good can be obtained from addiction by any other measurement.

While budgeting and adjusting expectations are good tools, you need to understand that same tools don't apply to everyone. If everyone could handle their budgeting, they probably would already. And i am not dissing your tips. They are good ones, but saying someone lacks jobs and therefore gets addicted just isn't true. There are many reasons for it, and not all of them apply to everyone.

And saying that having statistics makes sure that we "can't be addicted in the gambling" is just false. Writing statistics is a good idea, but actually using them into anything isn't working for everyone. People play because they want to get a vacation from reality, keeping track of how much we are losing, or caring about it isn't everyone's idea of fun. It's responsible way sure, but people definitely can be irresponsible while writing a budget. They just go over that budget. That's what addiction does.

You are right about the quote that gambling addiction have control measures but IMO addicted gamblers probably fine it very hard to control their expectations from gamble, even though they have a specific amount kept for gambling weekly or monthly as you said, one day they will exceed it because they are addicted and gamble addiction is not easily controlled.
I agreed that if one keeps a decent amount separately for gamble that he can afford to lose in gamble weekly or monthly, it will not be easy for the person to because addicted to gamble. Gamble addicted starts when the gambler do have a clear understanding of gamble.

when you read it the percentage of people who participate in gambling it will see that almost 75% of gamblers is addicted gamblers because they are curious to make a profit through gambling why the remaining 25% is gambling normal without been inquisitive to make a profit from gambling, there is some people who cannot quit gambling but they continue to say that they are not addicted gamblers but from my own point of views it seems that there are addicted in gambling because they can't quit or stop gambling.

This is probably the first time I’m hearing about addiction having a measurement lol. Just like you said, addiction is bad and so are its effects on the gambler, and that’s why it should be avoided by all means necessary, even if it means minimizing how often one gambles, I believe this is a pretty great way to avoid getting addicted, because the more time and resources one spends in gambling, the more their chances of getting addicted, so reducing how much time one spends to gamble could actually help one avoid getting addicted.

But do you not think gambling addiction should be a crime for you to have, we should not encourage gambling addiction as it is a very dangerous thing to happen to you. I have seen people that have gambling addiction and they became a shadow of how they use to be. They lost everything, from their money to their property and some lost their family because their spouse refused to be with them through their recovering stages. Some of them have not even recovered and still struggling with the gamble addiction therefore it is not something that I can wish on anyone to have because it is something that is supposed to be a crime to have. I like as everyone on the forum is speaking negatively about gambling addiction as it will make many people to avoid being addicted.

E ry addiction is controllable which depends on the plan to abolish such an addiction. We are gambling because we want to make money from betting without any much effort. This has been one of the main reasons why we keep seeing more gamblers trying their luck to make money from gambling. Addiction has been the consequences of gambling recklessly without any risk management. Risk management has been a way to limit the tendency of us getting an addiction. If we truly want to make money from betting, then being disciplined will be one of the ways we could end up achieving more form ourselves without being greedy at the same time.

I think every addiction can be control, everything just depend on the mind of the addict itself. If we think that we can go and quit, then we can do it. Might be needing some outside help like from a family or some professional.

Of course it will take sometime, but if the addict is willing then it can be done. We have heard stories of gambler turning their life around, and the becoming like a spokesperson against gambling. Everything starts in our brain and thoughts, if others can do it, then we can do it as well.
