Which is more addicting?

[Crypto Library]

what i will just add is that itx not only about mindset alone but also about setting up practical limits before you even start playing!!!! more like deciding a bankroll in advance, using deposit limits where it is possible nd treating losses as entertainment   although an annoying type of entertainment but just can't start up regretting cause no one forced you into it in the first place! so you hav to swallow the loss with negative pride    that kind of structure helps stop the emotional torture early enough. but on a more serious not do you guys think platforms should do more to enforce these responsible gambling measures or should it be left completely on the players! since what they want is to make money off the players tooo.??

I agree with you that in addition to the mind set in gambling, it must be implemented by setting a certain amount as a bankroll before the start in. And then the only way we can enjoy gambling is to learn to accept both loss and win. Otherwise, instead of enjoyment, we will definitely feel stress.
And if we talk about gambling platforms, here they only make investments to get money from people, so no matter how much responsible gambling is mentioned on these platforms, it is actually an open secret that they are not really that effective.

Winning and losing are both part of the game, and it is important to limit yourself here by accepting both outcomes, any outcome here depends on luck, so you will never get what you expect, and you should keep this mentality in mind and limit your activities by accepting both winning and losing, that is, you should stop gambling at the right time, and if you do not have this control, then I think you should refrain from gambling, especially if you cannot accept losses.

Correct.
Only when we keep these things in mind can we actually gamble responsibly and only then can we actually enjoy gambling. Otherwise, we will not have anything enjoyable from it.
And besides, I think that to maintain these things, we should set a specific target before starting gambling, which will be a realistic amount, and at the same time set an amount that we will take a break from when we touch it. And by gambling in this way, our activities will remain organized and we will not receive any extra stress even if we face losses.

Today I thought about the fact that the most dangerous types of gambling for addiction are those in which the gambler can influence the results of the game himself.
Because it creates a feeling of control over the game. Of course, I'm talking about card games like poker or blackjack.
These types of gambling are great at advertising themselves. After all, imagine that there is little point in sharing your successes in slots. After all, it is pure luck there. But if you share your successes in poker, then you can claim that you are a cool poker player.

You might have a point but this isn't the case for every gambler and you might actually be surprised that the games that people get addicted to the most are the ones that rely on luck only. Games like poker and sports betting can be very different because there's a higher chance of winning, I wouldn't say you have control over such games though because anything can still happen at the end of the day, you can't change the fact that it's gambling

When addiction has reached a serious stage, advice alone won't be enough to bring them back to their senses. Support from those around them is crucial. A rehab facility might be a good option. This way, they'll be firmly guided away from their addiction. While this can be stressful, the goal is clear: to improve their well-being, rather than continuing the addiction, which only allows for further addiction.

There is no doubt that when the addiction is severe it needs support from all possible sides, there is no doubt about that , but you have to be Intelligent and the person who is suffering from the addiction has to do their part , because not all the time should we expect miracles , the Effort must be made by the person who wants to be cured.

The person who is addicted is the person who will play the most part in making sure that he leaves gambling or gamble responsible the highest those around the person will do is to talk and advise which the person may decide not to take the advice so it's up to person involved

Seriously, very few people will go to a psychologist or anyone else for help. Not because it costs money and they can't afford it. No, it's more that they can't accept the fact that they need help and that without it they are unlikely to cope, so they continue to gamble. It's sad, but it's their choice. I hope that in the end they will be able to overcome their addiction and seek help.

The non-acceptance that there is a serious problem is the first indication that things will continue to get worse, that is why when a person is so reluctant , it must be encouraged that they go to a psychologist, in the end there is no reason to be ashamed to do so, sometimes a person needs to be spoken to by a professional who understands their state and emotions better, in addition to their behavior and actions.

From the way I see addiction and how some gamblers have been found addicted over time, it does not have to do with the game they play, because some can play a number of games and continue counting for each day because of addiction, while some may decide to only play a single game and that alone gets them into addiction, but looking more broader in this aspect, we can see the way the influence of being disciplined could help in curbing on some of our behaviors in gambling, because some of us can gamble without limit or boundary being addicted.

It's totally true. It's about the gambler's personality and not the games themselves. A compulsive gambler will become addicted to the game of his preference, being it slots or sports betting, while a functional gambler will place bets on any of those two categories without causing damage to himself.

Comparing both gambling categories, the main difference I see is regards how fast bets are executed. The tendency is that money is spent much faster through slots, as bets are instant, while in sports betting, matches take a long time to reach the outcome, so it's likely the gambler will spend his bankroll progressively, slower.

You are right because it is not always the kind of game that is involved in addiction but the patient's mind and the lack of discipline. Some are addicted to slots machines where others may only gamble on poker or sports, but the similarity is that they just cannot quit. Self awareness and discipline are of paramount importance here because when one understands how to put boundaries, one can be able to enjoy gambling without getting addicted. However, it is quite unfortunate to note that most people do not heed the warning signs until it is too late and this is when the damage has already occurred.

Addiction happens in whatever games, what we call Addiction is an uncontrollable urge for something, and an addict, does that thing he is addicted to consistently, so it doesn't matter which game, addictions can come from whatever games be it slot, dice, sport betting and the rest.

Addiction is about the state of mind of the addict and not what he addicted to, a gambling addict can play several gambling game2all fuelled by his addictions.

I agree but there are games with a higher chance of getting addicted to, especially those type of games that the results of a particular round are quick to settle, examples are crash games, slots and even sports virtuals. Skilled based games like sports betting might be difficult to get addicted to because unlike some casino games and virtual games you can take a break before betting on the next game after losing

It is very important to limit yourself in gambling, because those who are weak in self-control here, they easily get addicted to gambling. When a gambler limits himself and gambles, it will be for his entertainment, but when his mentality is to earn money, he easily loses control, because at that time he wants to recover his loss in any way. Here you have to gamble responsibly and limit yourself within your means, using more money than you can afford will only bring about a bigger disaster, because here the loss will be very natural, but you will not be able to accept your loss. As a result, even after losing, you will have to gamble more, which will eventually put you in debt and you will start getting addicted to it. So here you have to have the mentality of taking a break at the right time, but a gambler does not want to understand one thing at first, when he is already facing loss, then that time he only regrets it, but nothing will recovered.

Unfortunately, many gamblers are unaware of this, they are unaware that their approach to gambling is problematic, it is not always about not wanting to accept reality but sometimes not all of them realize that they have a problem, I do not know the reason but what is certain is that this awareness is covered up because of the high hope of winning, but actually the difficulty of realizing this cannot always be used as an excuse, because surely every gambler always has a moment where they are given advice and input by some of their friends, whether it is telling them that they have crossed the limit or other input, so I think it is likely that such gamblers already realize that they have a problem but the problem is that they do not want to go to a psychologist to examine themselves.

I agree with you to some extent, because for a variety of reasons it can be difficult for a person to seek help from a psychologist, so encouraging them to do so may prompt them to seek help. It's not a given that it will actually help them or that they will continue to be interested in it afterwards, but there is a chance that it will, and at the very least it won't make things worse.

Even though many people bet together in slot games, only a few get a return and most of them lose. There are some who believe in these games and bet as if they will win but they do not understand that luck will not always favor them here. Some, after winning, become more confident and try to bet more money, but in return they lose all their money. It is possible to make profit in a casino, but it is very small, and in most cases there is a possibility of losing. So there is no logic in putting a large money in such an uncertain platform.

It's quite an endless cycle that most gamblers often find it hard to break out from. Especially when they've grown that much faith in gambling, probably due to the fact that they just witnessed someone beside them take home that big bag, they derive motivation from such event and start to aim for the same big bag, without realizing that this game is purely about luck, and the fact that one person got lucky, doesn't mean you will also get lucky that day, even if you use the same strategy or approach as them. It just doesn't work that way. And this is the exact reason why people are always advised to always be mindful of how they approach gambling, so as not to get caught up in the dilemma of hitting it big.

Your advice on allocating a fixed amount of money may not be applicable to most gamblers. Yes, rich gamblers can continue to play according to your strategy, but poor and middle class gamblers can plan their weekly budget based on their income. Or there are other poor gamblers who prefer to gamble with their daily income. They do not set a budget before starting the game. The purpose of gambling should be for entertainment, not for income. You should gamble with self control and patience to overcome stress and be mentally prepared to lose most of the time. Use discretionary income for gambling so it does not negatively affect daily financial management.

That is correct. when a gambler is already addicted to gambling, it is always up to them to help bring themselves out from that addiction, regardless of the amount of effort others around him put to help him, even if he seeks the help of a psycologist, if they don't agree and accept within themselves to completely quite their addiction, all those external efforts would just turn out to be futile. I mean, they initially walked themselves to the addiction in the first place, so it is also up to them to equally walk themselves out.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

Profits or winnings is what makes the gambler more addictive to gambling, and between slots and sports betting, slots tend to give instant profits so there's a slight advantage towards slots so I'll pick it, but don't get me wrong with it because both of them have their own reasons why they can be more addictive.

Slots are considered to be more addictive just because the pace is very fast, and it can also give instant profits towards the gambler. The fact that it's fast pace is the reason why many are winning, but many are losing almost immediately or in a short amount of time. Sports betting on the other hand is where the gamblers who love to analyze and strategize plays. Also, those who are like me who wants to bet on their favorite teams tend to gamble more on sports games.

At the end of the day, it all depends on the gambler. Both can be addictive, and it all comes to the personality of the gambler.

[Ever-young]

That is why many gamblers or bettors experience so-called emotional swings.
And I had a very similar situation: when I experienced a series of unsuccessful bets in slots, and then I reduced the bet, because I realized that in this way I would quickly zero out my entire deposit, but I got a multiplier!
In the first second I felt joy, but then I felt sorrow because I realized that I had won little money. And if this multiplier had come to the previous bets, I would have won a lot of money.

And in this situation, some or most gamblers would feel like the best thing to do would be to go on a sort of revenge quest, where they'll start multiplying their stakes, making it higher than the previous, with hopes of hitting another multiplier and this time, a much bigger amount to cover for all their losses, forgetting that this is slot and the multiplier they hit previously could be a trap to lure them back. Some naively fall for this trap and end up cleaning out their bankroll.

[kryptqnick]

I tried finding sone data on this point but unfortunately couldn't find anything conclusive. Even though it might seem that slots are more addictive because of fast results, there are articles on the dangers of getting addicted to sports betting as well.
In any case, addiction is unfortunate, abd one shouldn't gamble or bet if one is prone to addiction, very young, or generally impulsive and struggling to keep emotions under control.
