Addiction in gambling

[Wakate]

Winning and the desire to pursue losses are typical causes of addiction. This is the reason why discipline is not always sufficient and self-awareness is also needed. Gambling is never supposed to be a source of income but a diversion since at the moment it becomes a way of making money the chances of addiction and making wrong decisions will be very high.

Misconception and misinformation can equally contribute to the reasons why some gamblers would resort to chasing wins and losses. This is mostly common amongst the newbies, some of these dudes enter gambling without really knowing the basics and the rules of engagement, probably because they saw someone else doing it, so they copy the person’s approach as well as their rules and mindset about gambling, thereby being misinformed and copying a huge misconception which ends up affecting them negatively later on.

This can happen when a gambler rely on gambling influencers for all the information they are looking to get from gambling.
People should start doing research so they can easily stories about how gambling had spoilt people's lives because they could not concentrate on other ways for them to make profits from gambling. If you make money from gambling today, you could lose it tomorrow if you are not smart enough.

There are some gamblers who are really relying on other well-known influencers, so sometimes I don't wonder why the offers are also big for influencers with a large number of followers. That's why these days I don't watch much good vibes content at first, but when they have a lot of followers, they will suddenly promote gambling when the opportunity comes for them to be offered a big amount.

That's why all the influencers who live stream can't really give assurance to all their viewers that they will win a big amount, as they show that they always win, but the viewers are not aware that it's just a demo account. This is something they should know and be even more careful about.

Their influencers are just providing entertainment and helping to boost their career (for the most part) because they are live streaming continuously having certain MoUs with some sites in order for them to be on their site which they have not given any concern about creating or rejecting followers for the list but definitely as part of their following this will be a challenge for the streamer and the site that hires them.

The fact that is happening now makes there are still a lot of people who are quite naive by continuing to depend on influencers even though it is not a guarantee because they only provide entertainment and our task is only to remind not to participate in the game just because our role models (influencers) are in it.
I still often listen to some streamers on some social media channels but I never try what they do because for me it's just entertainment to watch not as a reference for us to gamble.

Many people start believing in gambling very quickly. Before considering anything. Especially those who are new, they start following some people's tips or any system without having any idea about it. This becomes a cause of loss for them. They should understand that nothing is certain in gambling. Small wrong decisions can also cause loss many times. And once you suffer a big financial loss, it takes a long time to get back to normal. Many times, no one can get back to previous condition. And I think it is very important to control yourself from knowing information.

This happens a lot, the wife of a neighbour once met me to help open up a gambling account for her, she didn't really have a preference on which casino she just wanted an account to gamble with saying that with how she is hearing about how people are winning online then it wouldn't really be too hard to do, I asked why she didn't just talk to her husband and she said he refused to help saying she couldn't handle gambling, I straight up just told her the same thing, if that's the kind of mindset you have about gambling then you are going to lose everything you have to gambling.

If the purpose of gambling is entertainment, you may not be at risk of becoming addicted. Some gamblers gamble to make money, and as a result, they gamble more in an attempt to make more money or lose money and eventually become addicted to gambling.

The activities of addicted gamblers are not limited to themselves, as the level of losing money can reach such a point that they are not responsible for their family. The amount of losses they incur with excessive gambling is high and it is difficult to stop gambling even when they have available funds because they cannot maintain their patience due to the addiction.

Actually there are some people that gamble just for entertainment purposes like sport bets and casino gamblers, and it will be difficult for an individual that always find job or work that he or she will depend on, to become addicted to a gambling, however in some regions due to lack of job opportunities or poverty is the issue that push some people to completely depend on gambling and take it as their major sources of income and that is among the reason why some people now a days became addicted.
So to avoid become a victim of gambling addiction, still you can be risking your money and get lucky to win big price but don't depend on it and continue your normal life with other businesses.

Those who become confident by seeing the victories of others, and forget their own limits for big wins, end up in losses. That is why it is very important to be aware of yourself and think realistically. You can make some profit in the beginning, and then you start making decisions with emotions, it is very important to understand well and know your limits before taking blind risks. The more we play here, the more our losses will increase. Success will never come through gambling, we have to work hard to achieve success, through skill, hard work and learning, we can definitely improve in the long run, but not in gambling.

I have found only one way to be effective enough and working when it comes to gambling addiction and the fact that people want to get out of it faster. For me none worked except keep self-exclusioning myself until the casino offered me self-exclude yourself for indefinite amount of time and once you achieve this in all major casinos where you play then there is no other way to gamble or your options would be very very limited. I know you can still go to a physical casino but it takes some actions and decisions before you do so like do you really need that badly to gamble or not, for example many times I have seen that once I started enraged to go to the physical casino during my walk there I was cooled down. So there are only these ways to help someone get out of addiction.

"They gamble to make more money yes"
"They gamble to make more money or lose money" no

Every gambler will always want to make money and wouldn't want to loose, they all have one perspective wich is gamble to win, if not what is the use of gambling in the first place,
Losses just happen not because they want it, it's just because they aren't lucky enough in that particular game.

Point of correction, losing don't happen because they want it, but it happen because that is part of gambling and that is also what makes it a gambling, like it always has been that gambling is game of loss and profit which they their profit is determined by luck they got. But, having loss doesn't mean you are not luck and it doesn't also give you the chance to chase after it because that is not an option for one to exhibit, as the result might not be favourable. Which is why people are ought to always gamble with the amount they can afford to lose and still be happy about it, even though it not that easy.

That's right. Winning and losing are part of the game of gambling and they must be understood before engaging. Without a proper mindset gamblers will constantly chase wins even though losing is also part of gambling. When we understand this whether we win or lose we can accept it gracefully, even without the urge to chase previous losses. The mindset of gambling based on wanting to get rich quick is a fatal mistake. This is common among addicted gamblers.

I always emphasize this mindset to myself when gambling because it is the main foundation of gambling indirectly controlling everything from our emotions and finances to the point where we always gamble with money we can afford to lose.

As long as the intention is to get out of addiction, any method will be useful, either long or short in the healing process, but if there is no intention to recover from addiction, any method will be useless because this relates to the premise that makes it easy or difficult to cure addiction, if the determination is good, self-isolation in the room can be cured too if the determination is that big, but if not, it is useless, therefore those who do not have the intention to cure their gambling addiction are brainwashed by the psychologist.

Everything is just about mindset and discipline, when the mindset is set right and the discipline is in check then no matter how long one has gaze into any such of addiction then there is always a way out. One need to just put the right mindset and have a strong discipline no matter the temptation that might comes we need to stay strong and avoid the temptation and with such self control we can withstand the challenges and overcome the addiction.
 But mind you good things doesn’t always come the ease way so one need to go through the pain and accept the pain before we can hit the right outcome.

Addiction to gambling is especially threatening as it may develop unnoticed, and now people may gamble at home on their machines. Some do not notice the issue until they cause irreparable damage, both financial, relational, and mental. Whilst other people become aware of their addiction when they have lost large amounts, it is dangerous and unhealthy to wait to get to that point. Enlightenment should begin at an early age, discipline and clear boundaries must be established. Family support or mentor can also play an important role in assisting a person to get back on track and not to sink further into addiction.

It is true that this increasing ease of access is often abused by gamblers, unwittingly leading to excessive gambling. In the past, before online gambling existed, people really had to have free time if they wanted to gamble, they had to prepare everything, from their clothes to their money, and of course they had to leave the house to go to the casino, it seemed much more of a hassle. It’s different now, you can gamble wherever you are, not just at home, but you can even gamble whilst at work if you want to, this is absolutely mad, so you really must be able to control yourself.

The easy accessibility of gambling and the convenience to gamble in your comfort zone have made a lot of people to be addicted to it, like you said before someone can gamble this days they don't have to stress themselves. You can remember to gamble and engage in it for 24/7 no limitation of time and destination, you can enter and exit as you like. With these ease of gambling you need to be completely in control to be able to overcome addiction, if you allow the addictiveness of gambling to get into you there is no how you can stop, if your bankroll exhausts you will find anyway possible to refill it.

Self determination is the actually the greatest key in any method of addiction treatment because that's the first thing to check ✅ , the whole process is an act that was carried out willingly by the victim so in order to stop it a voluntary willingness or zeal to stop must be there before then you can choose to go in maybe isolation or filling up with other activities because a busy mind is one with lesser vague thoughts especially gambling.

I know of someone who is so addicted in gambling.who spend his time and all his money in gambling.
Which he is finding difficult to stop or control, irrespective of the consequences that surrounds it, such as relationship issues,lack of finance and emotional breakdown,many people go through so many risks just to be able to fund that lifestyle and majority of them are using gambling as there day to day activities (they make it their job) this set of people or person can loss friends, family and relationship.
Because all there focuses are on gambling, when you come across this kind of people. "all you need is to counsel them" because it's beneficial

I know that when the issue is addiction or the person himself is addicted to gambling, the main solution that is immediately there is rehabilitation for the person addicted to gambling. Because if this is not done, it will be an even bigger problem or pain between the family of the person addicted to gambling.

That's why it's also dangerous when it's really in a situation at the level of gambling addiction because it's very difficult to get out of it, although they can still get out, but it's not that easy to do because we have the right process to resolve it, and there's really no shortcut.

[Xackie]

For someone that is already deep in gambling, advice alone won't work for them. The only thing that can work is if they make up their mind on stopping and they are disciplined about it. Yes they will surely be some relapses , but if someone have the believe they can stop and works towards it. I also think that they need to change their habits or environment. Addiction is really bad, and I don't pray that anyone gets into it. It can make someone lose a lot of important things. Sometimes the environment in which one finds himself can influence them, so as habit, if u have something useful to do with your time, gambling won't even come to your mind. They should avoid friends who also gambles, and family support also works best.

Without the addicted gambler admitting that they are addicted, every suggestion and solution will be abortive. The self-determination you mentioned is indeed among the first things to do, but those who are addicted can't be strong enough to support themselves. While they are open to accepting help, they will need the support of others to make sure they are still standing with the decision they have made. There are those who can heal without support from others; in some cases it's never enough.

Addicts never accept they are addict until this lead them to serious trouble and by then it will have gotten late. That it's why you see people messing up themselves when gambling on daily basis. Addiction get grade, the early addicts can still recover themselves without the help of anyone. They may decide to stop when they see gambling causing problem for them. But the deep addict are those that can gamble with anything and such people can't get out from it without proper monitoring by others. Well, as you have said the first stage to get out from addiction iss self-determination. It's your determination that others will work on  to get you out of it.

Misconception and misinformation can equally contribute to the reasons why some gamblers would resort to chasing wins and losses. This is mostly common amongst the newbies, some of these dudes enter gambling without really knowing the basics and the rules of engagement, probably because they saw someone else doing it, so they copy the person’s approach as well as their rules and mindset about gambling, thereby being misinformed and copying a huge misconception which ends up affecting them negatively later on.

A very common misconception that both newbies and people who has been gambling for years and ought to know better have is the notion of the possibility of getting an income through gambling. That thought has sent a lot of people down thr rabbit hole and advanced slowly and steadily i to addiction.
Also, you mentioned newbies seeing some influencer online constantly winning on a particular online casino could be motivating enough to go ahead to indulge in it yourself, ignoring or totally ignorant of the fact that the influencer is being paid to peddle the casino to his viewers.

Many sees addition in different ways but I see addiction as the greatest ever challenge of a gambler,  addition they say at times leads to bankruptcy and other dangerous effects on a gambler. 
To become a successful gambler, one must learn how to control addiction as addiction is the main cause of lost in gambling,  at times when we run out of luck, the only way forward is to quit and never allow the spirit of addiction to control us because if that happens that will be the end of the person in question.
