Dream or Illusion?

[danherbias07]

A healthy relationship with gambling? Nah, I doubt that.
Awakening something dangerous within us? I will agree with that 100 percent.

Pride and Greed. Those two things could really put us in deep trouble. When we are losing, it's our pride that is on the line, and so we go for revenge. We chase losses until we get back, but most of the time, we won't get it all back at once. It could take a long time, and it's already stressing us out. It could lead to more lethal emotions. Madness.
Greed, on the other hand, is also something that is not easy to control. We want more. We are dissatisfied with what we get, even though we already make a good amount.
It's all an illusion while we are in, when we get out and stop gambling and realize what we did, that's when we will see reality again.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

It is an illusion or a dream that will 99.99999% most likely not to become true.

Some people are greedy. The main reason they started to gamble is because they want to make money from it but that is not possible. Gambling can be for fun if you set aside money that you used for it and it should not be more than 1% of your weekly income. Anytime you spend more than that, know that you are getting towards addiction already and change back to 1% of weekly income to gamble weekly.

It is true that less than 1% won at thecasino or succeed on what they plan and dream.
but for the percentage of having the baroll slash to payroll per week i think 1% is too small or too big it will depend on y9our pay-out
but noone can decide that but the owner of that  payroll. I just wish that every gambler who gamble the salary is lucky and will get more.

getting those huge win are dreams and getting the casino money is illusion!

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?

In my opinion, every person is different and will react differently to any kind of thing
However, I believe that I have a healthy relationship with gambling, both in casinos and sports betting

I have never lost control or lost more money than I should have
I bet for fun, and even if I have good results in sports betting, I consider it money well spent, just like any other entertainment that I also need to spend my money on

Unfortunately, some people lose control, but I don't know exactly what causes it

There's what they call "endless circle of wanting more."In Gambling,and as a gambler practice gratitude,make sure you're contented with whatever outcomes you're receiving, because it's keep you off irrelevant dangers, losses, regrets and continuous desperation.Gambling itself isn’t the biggest danger;it’s the greed that makes a gambler aspire longer,spend too much,and risk too far.

[Accardo]

Heart break could be by the corner waiting to fling the player out of the relationship. Gambling is a tough type of game to take lightly or build any form of relationship. Unless the gamer is well responsible and capable to handle any emotional challenge that'll immerge from keeping a healthy relationship, they'll be no such thing as being in good terms with gambling.

Many people enter gambling seeking quick wealth, but is the problem just money? What really holds us back is the illusion of control and the expectation of instant rewards, isn't it?

Yes, the problem is only money they gamble for money, and even though they say they gamble for fun, the main goal is still money, not entertainment.
Money becomes the primary goal for gamblers, hoping for an instant win but the reality is just an illusion.

If it's not excessive it might not be negative, but there's no healthy relationship in gambling more people are affected mentally by excessive gambling, which leads to severe addiction causing them stress and even madness.

[nara1892]

Everything can be seen from how we treat gambling itself. Basically, anything done excessively is not good. This means that if, for example, you feel that you have recently experienced financial problems after getting involved in gambling or, for example, you have a lot of debt after getting involved in gambling, it means your relationship with gambling is unhealthy. But the problem is, unfortunately, not all gamblers realize this; they usually ignore it, so the problem ultimately gets bigger.
On the other hand, I also admit that sometimes gambling can awaken something dangerous within me that I should have kept tightly closed. For example, when I want to try playing with a small amount of money and it turns out I lose it very quickly, usually I will deposit several more times, and eventually the amount I lose is very large.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us..

Yes, it's possible. I know majority of gamblers that are married and they are not addicted. It becomes a problem when you are addicted. If you are not addicted and do take care of your responsibilities as a wife or husband, I don't see any harm that gambling has in a relationship, only if your spouse does not like gambling. This is why as a gambler, you need to gamble with your extra money and don't think of making profit from your bet.

We are dreaming, and we think that the only way to make that dream come true is through gambling.
As we keep gambling, our brain starts to believe that gambling is the only shortcut to wealth.
In reality, there are many ways to make money by using our minds.

As we keep gambling, we fail to see other options for becoming wealthy.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?

It’s possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, but only if a person can control themselves and set limits on their gambling. Those who don’t set limits and gamble irresponsibly are at risk of serious losses and may even become addicted due to their unhealthy gambling habits. It’s up to the gambler how they manage their gambling.
So basically if they can’t form healthy habits and set limits, they will have a negative relationship with gambling.

[Awaklara]

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?

Only when we are not addicted to gambling can we have a healthy relationship with it. We can still gamble, but there is no strong attachment or desire to do it every day. When a gambler has made gambling a mandatory activity that must be done, from that moment, we can see that there will be no healthy relationship with gambling.
Gambling addiction undoubtedly raises the potential dangers of its impact on the gambler. We have seen many examples of this happening to friends, colleagues, and even ourselves, experiencing such situations.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?

Gambling does have instant rewards but so does instant losses.
At one instance we would be dreaming of making huge money with what we have and the next moment we could lose it all what we deposited.
With the house edge, it becomes almost inevitable to lose money in the long term.
With that said, it is an illusion that we can make money with gambling but on the other hand if we consider it as an entertainment and just play for fun within out limits then it can turn out to be a healthy thing for our mind.

[vanesha]

Gambling will give rise to something dangerous, as long as you have access to an account for gambling transactions, you are still in a dangerous circle, because gamblers usually, when they are no longer able to control themselves, will deposit anything to chase their losses, we don't know exactly when we lose control.

Gambling needs are insatiable, this means we cant have it enough, it is more better that we gamble as according to how we could manage ourselves and leave the rest, but not until when we rush ourselves into uncertain conditions and started to panic in looking for an escape route out of the mess we are into, it has been said repeatedly, that we should gamble responsibly, this goes along way for us and the outcome we see from being a gambler.

- Can we learn something about ourselves through risk and the decision to gamble?[/i]

Gambling is one of the easiest way to know what you can possibly do and to what extent you can go to achieve what you want. It stretches you so much that you will be able to test your endurance, patience and ability to absorb risk. If you can gamble and remain in the business for six months, you can do any business that involves money because the fear of losing money would have left you.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?

If gambling awakens something dangerous in someone, it means the person is addicted to gambling. Someone that is not addicted to gambling and derive fun from gambling will not display any negative tendency.

So basically if they can’t form healthy habits and set limits, they will have a negative relationship with gambling.

and also to be realistic or mindfull of the win difficulty when it comes to
casino games but less so in sport betting.

Its very easy to have a positive relationship with gambling it just takes a
positive mental attitude.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?

As long as you keep a few things in mind, I think there is indeed a way to keep a healthy relationship with gambling.

First, do not let yourself believe that you can make an income, get rich or that you can make a job out of gambling. It will never happen. The mathematics of gambling probabilities are not on your side. Stay grounded in reality.

Second, gamble only after making a plan and an agreement with yourself about how much you are willing to lose and how what your losing and winning limits are. Do not break your own rules.

Gambling with tiny amounts of money will give you the same dopamine rush as with large amounts. So gamble small. Think of gambling as nothing but entertainment.

A person with decent salary and goal in life, who knows a dozen of ways to earn decent money, a person with financial education or financial mindset, will always have healthy relationship with gambling. Those who know only «be an employee» way to earn, never ever tried or had no patience to succeed any part time job, will always be endangered by gambling.

P.S. I know a guy who will never have troubles with gambling, because he has never gambled due to being very greedy. For him its a pity to waste money so irrational.

[Davidvictorson]

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?

It is possible to have a responsible healthy relationship with gambling. In my, estimation if you ask me I would say that gambling doesn't awaken something dangerous within us rather it reveals who we truly are on the inside and out nature. If you already have a propensity to become greedy, it will show through your gambling and others.

[Solodoski]

Many people enter gambling seeking quick wealth, but is the problem just money? What really holds us back is the illusion of control and the expectation of instant rewards, isn't it?

I think the idea of seeking quick wealth in gambling is an illusion to me, because gambling is a game of luck and chance. I have always said that it's only a very few that make money from gambling, while the rest people just keep losing.
It just greed that make people loss so much in gambling,  so I think the only way to enjoy gambling and free yourself from this illusion for making quick money is to see gambling as a form of entertainment or fun. When you gamble this way, you take control of every situation and never get addicted or thinking of making quick money from it, and it will just be a bonus when you win a bet.
