Addiction in gambling

[fruktik]

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.

No casino strategies or tactics work. I've spent so much time researching this information, and it's all in vain. The same losses I've been experiencing, and they're still the same. I think most people here can attest to this. If anything worked, it would have become public knowledge by now, and people would have started brazenly robbing every casino in sight, racking up huge wins. Sure, there are some isolated cases, but they're the exception, not the rule.

I think anyone who gambles has that idea that if they gamble too much, they'll fall into addiction. So, that education is about self awareness to themselves and they knew it all along. What they don't want to accept is that they're already addicted to gambling and they cannot help themselves from stopping it. The signs are visible and even if they know how to stop or slow it down, they're not choosing it because whatever is bad, that feels good to them until they messed up and have left with nothing from their pockets and realizes that the boat is sinking and no one is there to save them but only themselves.

Your argument about education and mindset was a good point, however, it is even more than knowing the risks. All gamblers are already aware of the risks, but they do it, since this is an emotional rather than a rational matter of addiction. It is possible through education, provided that a person is honest with oneself. The largest barrier is normally the denial. The warning signs are noticed by many but still, they pursue losses or the immediate thrill gambling gives. Knowledge will not make any difference until one realizes that he or she is out of control. The very first step of real progress is the self-awareness, discipline and willingness to quit.

Denial is what making a gambler continue believing of their own thoughts that gambling more than what they can afford to lose is just fine and they can recover it. And being in denial while they are being affected so much with their gambling activities, that's a hard pill for them to swallow. They are aware of the warning signs that they are experiencing but because they deny that, they're not believing that it's in them already and they have to be careful with that but they don't.

Gamblers with such behavior need others to make them realize their uncontrolled actions. Otherwise, financial ruin will surely occur, which can have worse effects on others. 
Although it is very likely that some gamblers will deny that they have acted beyond limits, the process of getting each gambler to admit it will be different.

Casino companies are ahead in terms of winning but gamblers mostly place their bets in those casinos because some gamblers focus more on having fun than spending money. Casinos are not always prone to winning, their developers apply very clever methods so that gamblers do not have too much regret. Casino developers do not set the algorithm to win unilaterally, they give gamblers wins in some cases, so gamblers are attracted to those casinos. The strategy of casinos is to make gamblers addicted because the more gamblers are addicted to gambling, the more money the casinos can make.

Well, I think a gambler who is spending way above what they can afford to lose doesn't need anybody to tell them this, their pocket or bank account balance or wallet balance should or will tell them, if not sooner, then later..

I am a type of person that likes to mind my business and I think except you and the person is very close, it's a kind of wrong to tell a person how he or she should manage his or her finances, some person might even pick offence at you when you try to caution them to be careful with the way they are spending on either gambling or any other activities, like a friend of mine did me one time I tried to let him know that he was already spending too much on betting, he simply asked me if I was the one making the money for him, I quickly sensed the rage in him and kept quiet cus I wanted to issues wit him..

Some people don't like been corrected especially when they did not ask for another person's opinion on their personal matter, so for people like this, it's best to allow them learn and correct their self.

The one thing that have led many people into addiction and possible financial debt os that, they think that by chasing they loses or playing more than necessary they will be able to win back whatever they have lost, this mentality effects the way the react to things including they risk management.

Having that common sense that its very essential to always exhibit self-control, which is the key to sustain responsible gambling and prevent them from spending unnecessary in gambling and focus on getting fun and not to make money or double their money through it, which they just have to accept the fact and move on, especially if gambling is not going as planned, which they are not to chase after their losses, because chasing after it will still bring in more problems.

That's their reaction when people tell them that they're already addicted. It's a self defense that they won't admit it and it's kind of frustrating and shy to admit that in front of many people. So even if they are doing the obvious and the signs are there, they'll deny that completely even it means that they're seen as lying.

Yes, the urge to recover the lost money always leads people to over-play. Which ultimately definitely makes the situation worse. Many people think that it is possible to recover the lost money if they continue playing for some more time, but their future results are going to be more terrible but they do not understand this. They eventually forget their limits, their losses keep increasing and finally the matter gets out of control where they become addicted. But as a responsible gambler, these things have to be controlled, but if they continue playing like this, it is not possible to survive in the long term.

Do people who are addicted to chasing losses, or those who chase losses easily, get addicted to gambling? Once a gambler has that feeling that the next game which they are to play might give them the win they are looking for and they convince themselves to stake high, they are on the edge of doubling the amount they could possibly lose. Losing chasing has been one thing that easily drains the balance off and pushes the gambler to make more deposits.

Gambling with the mentality of getting back the money lost increases the risk of losing money many times over. When a gambler loses money and becomes desperate to get back that money, the gambler completely forgets the true purpose of gambling and starts gambling. As a result, the gambler cannot control himself, suffers financially and gambling gradually turns into an addiction. It is better to keep a cool head and control greed while gambling, and gamble with what you can afford to lose.

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.

And while seeing many influencers who seem to win more often, that’s actually not the reality because even though they frequently showcase their wins that’s just their strategy to attract people’s interest, and there are always those who get hooked and follow them only to find they’ve been deceived.

Yes, influencers always show off their winning history, so that they can sell signals, and those who are new to gambling lose everything by falling into the trap of these so-called influencers, but the reality is very different, because no one can guarantee winning consistently in gambling, that means, no matter how experienced influencers are, they definitely have a lost history that they do not share publicly, there are no strategies to say sure shot in gambling. If you follow that, you will surely win. So I think all those who are new to gambling should not follow any influencer or subscribe to any paid signal from them.

When a gambler lost, it became more desperate in participating in gambling, and the aim and objectives of the gamblers to become more desperate it's because the gambler want's to recover what it has lost...

But one funny with such ideas of recovering what you have lost from gambling is that, the more a gambler is pursuing his losses the more the gambler is losing more, so it's better a gambler to gamble what it can afford to lose, so that when it lose, it will not be desperate to regain what it has lost.

They said being ignorant of the law is not an excuse, people should ought to make sure they are doing the right thing at all time, gambling recklessly is a choice which they are aware that they will have to face the side effects and to avoid that is only to do the necessary adjustments and stay in control of their emotions, which they are not to make decision based on their emotions but to make decision that will save them a lot of stress.

When a person becomes addicted, his common sense does not work. If he could have decided which is good for him or which decision will bring bad situation for him, then he would never have become addicted. When his common sense does not work, then he goes to the stage of addiction. And loses control over himself. If he runs out of money. Even if he sells his wealth and loses everything by gambling, if he gets money somehow, then he will still gamble with that money just because he thinks that he will start doing profit again continuously. And he will become rich like before. But reality and luck do not go his own way. And whenever he loses control over himself in gambling, he will lose.

Apart from the right Mindset, a proper education is sometimes needed by some of these people, if they are properly educated about what gambling entails, it will even help some of their mindset and influence  their decisions and the development of their habits as gamblers. In the education, they get to know about the potential risk, the challenges and ways to prevent or manage certain situations when they arise.

Just as you said, Education is the key, which one can acquire knowledge and understanding through it. If people who involves in gambling are being educated about gambling, both the essence why it was designed, the benefits and the side effects, I think they will get a better understanding of gambling and can be able to navigate their minds and emotions in ensuring that they are focused on gambling responsibly and smartly, which they can also be able to manage the risks involved, knowing when to stop or quit themselves from gambling.

Every decision making will be clouded with your addiction and thats something normal for any forms of addiction on which it isnt just that limited to gambling alone but also in other addictions as well. One you do have that addiction then you would surely be sticking on doing that no matter what, as long you can be able to do so then you would continously be doing it no matter what. On the moment that you cant literally be able to do because of having no money, or you had already some health problems then this is where you would literally stop and thats normal. Its always best that you should be dealing up with things on moderation and control if you dont want to put up yourself on such trouble in the future. Whenever you are that playing gambling then make it sure that you are just that playing for fun and entertainment nothingless. When you do lose up money then its just that right to call it a day and refrain yourself on trying out to chase up those loses because these are the main things or reasons on why gamblers do end up on getting addicted.

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

If it's worst like this sometimes the person may not even know what he is doing and needed help, in some cases it can be spiritual that what ever such person will be thinking about is gambling any time little money comes his all his thinking will be gambling so he will be useless and ever achieve any time in life , such person should be regularly monitor, never him to use Smart phone so that he wouldn't even think of gambling online and also go around any casino shop at his reach never to play any game for him when ever he comes to gamble. Gambling is not a source ot income i don't know how some persons put all their hope in gambling.

Addiction in gambling is a very common thing, and it is really a problem to most gamblers. One of the best ways to overcome this is through self discipline. With self discipline, u can control when you bet, and how u bet, you'll be in charge and control of your betting habit hereby making it less addictive.

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

Consolation alone won't be enough, talk to them and try to make them have a self realization that this practice is harmful. Because, the first step of breaking out of this predicament is self awareness. Once you realize that you're going down the wrong path, you'll start looking for solutions to change.

Although, it won't be an easy way back, but with your support and encouragement, they can snap out of the addiction. If you are religious, also put them in prayers to.

Having the right mindset and clear intentions towards gambling helps to support one to stay grounded to ensure that they abstain from any form of mistakes that will ruined their plans and their chances of getting fun from gambling, which might also be a disaster to their relationships. That is why its very necessary for one to be able to control themselves, which is why its essential for people to  be aware of the potential risks involved and how they can be able to manage it, in order to prevent them from gambling recklessly.

Apart from the right Mindset, a proper education is sometimes needed by some of these people, if they are properly educated about what gambling entails, it will even help some of their mindset and influence  their decisions and the development of their habits as gamblers. In the education, they get to know about the potential risk, the challenges and ways to prevent or manage certain situations when they arise.

Education has nothing to do with gambling. If you are educated, you can still be addicted to gambling. Haven’t you see educated people that are addicted to gambling. There are many that I have seen well educated people, but they are addicted to gambling, I think people that usually gamble the more are those who are educated because it takes educated person to know and understand the time and how matches are being played those who are addicted to gambling are more educated people, education has nothing to do with being greedy. The reason why people are addicted to gambling are because they are greedy and they want to make huge amount of money from gambling and education will not stop you or prevent you from being greedy. it is inside you.
