Addiction in gambling

[xenomorfo]

Counselling an addicted gambler is also helpful to an extent but I don't think it can not completely solve the entire problem , because if that person is still accessable to physical cash and offcourse moving freely without restrictions then am afraid because despite being counselled he will still continue gambling regardless. But in other hand if the person is properly rehabilitated in any of the rehabilitation centre then he stands a better chance of doing better.

Addiction is not something we should joke with perhaps it has distroyed so many people over the years, however addicted person's are also human and they need care too, so if by chance we are in better position to help them out of their presents predicament then we shouldn't  think twice but do what is expected to reverse back a dieing soul.

I don't agree with you, when you have an addiction you have to stop playing and get help from a professional, i think usually a psychologist but there are also centers where you can rehabilitate yourself.
Let's not joke with addictions, they are much more dangerous than you think.

I agree with you that counselling a compulsive gambler to get him out of the addiction stage if he has enough funds will not work for most gamblers. The important thing to avoid the addiction stage in gambling is for him to realize that he is in an addiction state and that he needs to get out of that state. If they have the tools to gamble freely such as available funds then it will not be easy to get him out of the addiction state.

In most cases compulsive gamblers do not understand their mistakes, in that case counselling is a way to correct their mistakes, but it is better for them to set aside a certain amount of funds for gambling.

Seeking out a professional help should be only the last resort when you do have an addiction towards gambling because you can eventually be able to stop if you are really just that being serious on quitting or stopping gambling. Your own will would be enough for you to be able to get rid of gambling addiction but of course its not something easy because it might that sounds basic but once you are already on addiction then this is where gamblers do fail on doing so. Some are just that choosing to be quiet and dont ask or seek for some help even on their own family or loved ones. Some are just that open and seek out some help just because they wanted to resolve it out on which its a must thing to be done but just like been said that it would be on the last resort when other things doesnt work out because we do know that rehabilitation or these professional help wont be that something cheap and you would be able to spend up some bucks just for you to changed up your mindset towards gambling.

I cannot agree with you. Professional help should not be a last resort. As for the cost of treatment: if a player can find money for casino deposits, they can certainly find it to save their own life. Spending money on a specialist is not just an expense—it is the most profitable investment one can make, which will ultimately save far more money. Furthermore, seeking professional help is better than any attempt to quit gambling on your own after another major loss.

There's no law in such if it's just about addiction not until they do something bad just for them to feed their addiction. But that's it, gambling addiction is a choice and a gambler who have become reckless chose that to happen. It's possible that they have been warned to stop but even if they did, they didn't do it. And so, their decisions are going to be dependent on how hyper they are and if they continue to take risk while being addicted which is a bad decision.

I agree that addiction is not the fault of the casino or anyone else, solely and exclusively the fault of the player who chose it or who didn't know how to manage that great impulse to keep playing and playing but as it's understood here, it would be good if the addict himself understood his responsibility and took charge of the matter sometimes the addict has all the power to overcome this deficiency, but only by accepting to follow whatever treatment is necessary.

Well i have really enjoyed and watch most gamblers on how they blame Casino guys but just as you have made mention been an expert or added gambler also many people have call out them and the real problem is that any time truly trying to play games it end of up look, someone been an addict means to that thing not that the casino is the control of the preson…

And this part people make mistakes a lot mixing up thing for them self just for mis management of or not having enough control over your favorite..and it even makes me wonder how people just mix up things this days without fears..

Of course, when people are busy with something constructive, they naturally find reasons to abstain from all these addictive things. But the more free a person is, the more wrong thinking will develop in his mind. That is why when we want to get out of this excessive gambling activity, we should keep ourselves busy with something, so that we do not have any thoughts of going back to gambling, we can read books or learn some skills, keep ourselves busy with such things, then we can easily stay away from these habits.

It is correct that when any persons are free and have nothing to do usually fall on bad things it might be various types of things eg: extra marital love, gambling, addicting on drink and so on. In this case there is almost no way to avoid those bad things and fall on various addiction.

[Mahiyammahi]

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.

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.

I can say with respect that those who gamble and repeatedly deposit new money to cover their losses cannot cover those losses at the end of the day. Rather, they are gradually moving towards addiction, which they often do not even realize.
However, the same reason does not work in all cases. It is also seen that someone is gambling regularly, doing it with small amounts of money, and may even be keeping his net balance fairly stable. But due to spending time in casinos or betting for a long time, he gradually becomes addicted.

If I talk about my own experience, there was a time when I used to gamble regularly I still do, but not like before. I realized one thing, if I gamble for a long time, then the next day I have a strong urge to gamble again. That attraction pulls me into the same thing again and again.

But now that situation is no longer there. I have been able to realize the matter and have been able to reduce gambling to a great extent by bringing myself under control. This is a big achievement for me.

Trust me you just said the truth and did not even miss a thing. I was also in that kind of situation where I gambling frequently and I will not miss a day not knowing I was gradually becoming addicted. And when I got so addicted to gambling and wanted to stop it was so difficult because my mind always have a way of only thinking about the wins and forgetting the days I will lose so badly. And most times when I lose, I am always trying to win back what I have lost, and at the end of the day I will end up losing everything that I had on me. My addiction was so bad that if I meet those bad days I end up getting angry at anyone that is around me and might even end up crying.

But it's so good that I have stopped and even thinking about gambling most times really scares me. That is why when I see people saying they are gambling just for fun makes me laugh because I know the mindset of anyone gambling is to make profit and if that doesn't happen, then they will continue depositing money and be chasing losses, and that is when addiction start.

The most important thing that any gambler should do, is to always set a limit and stick by it, always have self control and be discipline and always know when to walk away.

[UpTober]

Gambling addiction is never good, so those who are addicted to gambling create problems for their families and their friends try to keep a distance from them. The person you mentioned is quite addicted to gambling, so it is clear that his family may be at peace because of him, and similarly, his friends may have distanced themselves from him because of his addiction to gambling.

That's the reason why they it is said that an ideal mind is the devil's workshop, that simply reminds people to keep themselves busy at all times. But some might say that it is not possible to have something to always keep your mind occupied that's actually wrong. I know that whenever I'm bored I'll always feel like gambling and it doesn't always end well so what I do instead of that is to pick a book and start reading or I start posting on the forum, I always make sure I do something productive

I completely agree with your words. Addiction should not be taken lightly, because it can gradually destroy a person's life, mentality and relationships. People do not take it seriously at the beginning, moreover, they think that they can easily stay away from this addiction, but later due to their carelessness they end up getting deeply involved here, and they are greatly affected by this addiction. That is why if it is not taken carefully from the beginning, and the necessary steps are not taken to stay away from it, then it can affect us badly, from which we will have to face a lot of difficulties to get back to normal.

What you must also know is that someone can fight addiction quicker only if the person have come to self realization that they are addicted and therefore has accepted that they want to change from being addicted gamblers to responsible gamblers. Even if you rehabilitate or council an addicted gambler, when the person has not made up their mind to accept change, they  never change and become better.

From my understanding, both of you are correct, @Yablee0 just happened to stress the whole talk too much. Maybe that's what leads you to become confused and, at the same time, disagreeing with his opinion. Anyone who is addicted needs all the possible help they can get, which includes both the person helping their self and help from others and professional bodies as long as the addicted person is determined to get out of it then every little help offer is going to be beneficial to him or her.

Usually a lot of people that get lazy in gambling must have had lucky wins in the past and as a result of that they think that they can always achieve the same thing but unfortunately luck doesn't come every time. Being too reluctant to learn more about the gambling before engaging it means you are preparing yourself for failure. Having a strategy or knowledge does not guarantee win though it only increases the chances of winning.

You are right and there are some gamblers that don't even have any wins in the past, they are just eager to win from gambling because they have heard stories or seen their friends wins more often from gambling, which they believed that their luck will also shine like that of their friends or more than their friends, forgetting that gambling has a way of luring people into destruction that will not affected them positively but will make them to regret their choice in life.

Why does it have to be a last resort? In my opinion, even if you have an addiction and for a short time it can be a help. Let's not underestimate addiction because it can really create many problems in life and destroy it completely.

What I think is that the system itself forces or leads people to pursue these kinds of results, to look for crazy things to see if they get lucky. Personally, I think that when a person is out of control and is taking advantage of the chaos, anything they do is good as long as it brings them the slightest profit because they know that's how things are going, and addicts always get the bare minimum to back up their decisions.

That's right. Excessive amounts of free time in our lives can easily lead us back to things we should avoid. Not just addiction, but addiction in any form to avoid it we must constantly occupy ourselves with positive things.

Because one of the most effective ways to avoid gambling is to occupy ourselves with positive activities and change our environment. This way, our minds and hands are occupied with positive things, so the urge to gamble becomes much smaller and over time disappears. But when you don't occupy yourself or seek out positive activities you'll easily relapse into gambling, all due to boredom, lack of free time or unmanaged stress. Essentially, you must be able to build new long term habits. It will take time but with consistency you can overcome your gambling addiction.

[Achalugo BTC]

I want to believe education isn't referred to as school in his context. Gambling needs education and it's not about having some special knowledge by reading and writing, you must understand how something work before you venture on it with your money. If you don't have gambling education, how it's play and why you should play it, I don't think such person will ever make money from gambling, without education you will struggle to make money.

As a gambler, you need to have knowledge of understanding how to bet, the teams you are looking. Sometimes, you see some people that didn't have college education win huge amount of money from casino, they might not look all that and have real education but they have studied the casino game, they have master the pattern and are able to understand how it work and that's how they were able to try and try and later win bets from casino.

Well, whatever it may be is fine but all I know is that its important to have the right mindset towards gambling, which is for one to gamble responsibly and that is the only obligation they owe to gambling and to save themselves from the wrath of irresponsible gambling, because I see no reason why people will engage in gambling just to make money, when they know that it will affect them in every area of their lives, including their happiness and their peaceful state. That is why people are to checkmate their minds and emotions to know if they can capable of controlling themselves when the game gets tougher and emotional.

Distancing yourself from someone who is addicted to gambling is not the best thing to do to the person. If you are friends with them, the best you can do is try to offer any form of help that you can that will help them out of that addiction. They need both friends and family more. I mean, their support addiction is not something light; you only don't have to follow them to gamble. Do what you can, but don't let them influence you and convert you into becoming an addict.
