How can we avoid addictions in gambling?

[Betwrong]

Addiction is the strongest challenge associated with gambling which requires serious attention to avoid regretting on the process and the easiest way to do away  with addiction, and to do this, some precautions needs to be taken. To avoid addiction in gambling, some things must be avoided and those precautions are: eliminating greed while gambling because greed is the greatest enemy of all gamblers as it gives room for constant lost while gambling, secondly avoid staking much with little capital because once the capital is high there won't be room for the accumulation of more odd.

To be engaged with gambling is a bit dangerous, I agree. Gambling addiction is always kind of waiting for you around the corner. But that's how it is with things that make us happy - all of them are a bit dangerous. I think, the key here is not to abuse what is given to us to make us happy. When there's too much of something in your life, even if it makes you happy, it starts looking like an addiction and, actually, maybe it is.

Yeah, addictions are no joke.

You usually need time and determination to get rid of the chemicals the addiction creates in your brain.

The key is to do other things so you keep busy.

Not at all, all addictions are treated like a disease, rightly so, except gambling addiction, which the infamous state, at least the Italian one, speculates on so much that it doesn't give a damn about people if they ruin themselves or their family's lives.

I don't know who will not consider gambling addiction as a disease too but I do, it's a very terrible disease especially when it's chronic. You already pointed out that it has the ability to lead people to ruining their life. I can tell about the different people over here that has been ruined by gambling addiction and they have reduced themselves from being great people to nothing. Some of them don't even eat healthy again, they spend every penny they have on gambling, what's worse than that?

-how often should we gamble?

Well usually gambling is meant to be for fun but the way the younger generation seems to be taking it is quite different from what it should be. They feel it's a way to print them quick money without labouring.. someone once said that any system that claims to double you money in a short period of time, is either there to make money off you or make you miserable.. gambling can put you in these two categories if you aren't careful. Majority of gamblers have fell to such because of their own kind of mindset. If you don't approach gambling with courtesy, you would end up ruining your life and that of people around you...

As the years goes by people are beginning to have ideas about gambling thinking that they can use it as a means to makw profit but overtime they find out that it is something that is unachievable. majority of the gamblers that get involved in gambling fot monetary gains end up getting addicted to it. one of the ways to avoid getting addicted to gambling is to avoid prioritising making profit

It's a good reason to lose interest in gambling, but those who maintain that interest in gambling seeking profits are novices; very few think that way In casinos, it's noticeable that any detail makes a difference. I go in wanting to win, and if I don't achieve that goal, I accept it because if I chase my losses, I'm going to spend my entire bankroll , and that's not the idea.

[Jody.Drummer]

The way to avoid gambling addiction is to be able to apply the right mindset by considering gambling not as a way to make money but for entertainment only. Addiction occurs because initially there is a wrong perspective such as assuming that gambling is a way to make money quickly. But if gambling is done properly and not more as a means of entertainment then I think addiction will not occur. A lot of people are addicted to it because they are chasing random winnings, so they force themselves to be able to win while the winnings depend on luck.

But in reality, that’s not an easy thing to do because the majority gamble because they want to make a profit. So even before they make a deposit, they’ve already set their mind to win, to make a profit. I know that at some point, it’s not good, but that’s just how it is. It’s not easy to change their mindset if that’s how they’ve been thinking for a long time. If you really can’t change that mindset, the best thing you can do is set a limit and strictly follow it.

All depends on your actions and inaction on gambling. You don't have to engage much on gambling and only visit when necessary. People became addicted to gambling because they visit the casino often. If there is no money to gamble they asked friends to fund the account for them and gamble again. Those guys do not see gambling as an activity of fun or entertainment but for them it is a win or lose affair.
They like to use their last money to gamble than using it to feed. All their hope is that if they use it to gamble they will win more so they can use it to buy more food items and pay other bills. But the opposite is the case in most cases.

[DaNNy001]

i can just share my ideas, how i control my gambling addiction, my first deposit was only 10$ in casino site, then firstly i bet with 0.5$-1$,
in such way i learn it, and i never expect i will big win, and i don’t play with my whole amount of dollars, i gamble with specific time, i don’t play recklessly, while i win a bet then i stop, it’s a good way to avoid addiction, you need play responsible gambling, don’t use all money  in gambling, don’t greedy, if possible after win, make some withdraw.

Yeah, it is similar to other addictions really.

You just need to find some other activities that you lime to do instead.

Then over time you will be less and less addicted to it.

well, this doesn't work for everyone, some people get involved in other activities and still find it difficult to stop gambling addiction...It is a problem that can't just be avoided easily, for such persons the best thing to do is to go for therapy or work on finding ways for them to stop gambling addiction...Finding a distraction doesn't really work for everyone but it is actually a good way to overcome gambling addiction

seeing gambling as a means of entertainment and funs doesn't stop a gambler from been addicted to gambling. Addiction is caused by not being moderate in gambling, too much indulgence in gambling can lead to addiction whether we are gambling to be entertained or for fun. Gambler's motive has nothing to do with addiction moreover there are people that get addicted to things that they are not making profit from but because they allow themselves to be too much involved in it.

creating a balance at the things you are doing has always been the best thing to do because any moment you allow your emotion come in the way or just allow things go on without having to control it, you are going to experience great disaster in the long run when you eventually start getting involved in it over and over again in an uncontrollable manner. the way to avoid addiction is to be in complete charge of your gambling. do not make gambling something you must engage in every day.

Many years ago, I had no inhibitions when it came to gambling. I could play for days on end, completely oblivious to the passage of time. I'd leave early in the morning and spend time in a brick-and-mortar casino until late at night. Slots were my passion. I'd spend hours playing the same machine. The process only stopped when I ran out of money. I'd lose everything down to the last penny. Then I'd find money again, and this would continue for several years. Couldn't you call that an addiction?
