Addiction in gambling

[ChocolateBitcoinK]

Indeed, gambling has more serious negative impacts on those without a source of income to support themselves. Once having quit, employment is the easiest and best way of avoiding a relapse. Employment gives order and money, which makes the desire to gamble once more less. To individuals who are faced with financial issues, the best bet would be to avoid gambling to avoid aggravation of the situation.

Yes, gambling can have a worse effect on those who have no other means of earning. But I have seen that those who earn less are the ones who are most attracted to gambling. While investigating the reason for this, I have seen that those who earn less mainly gamble to change their luck and they think that they can change their luck by winning the bet. But if he starts gambling to change his luck and becomes addicted to gambling, that is the worst sign.
Also, as you said, even if he arranges new employment while gambling, he still gambles more and loses more, yes this is true.

It is not only those that doesn't have means of earning money that gambling can affect negatively. There are people was become bankrupt as a result of gambling. Both those that have source of income can also be affected by gambling, the most important is self control because without it being addicted to gambling becomes very easy. Although those people that doesn't have source of income can be easily addicted to gambling more than those that have source of income.

It is important to limit people's self-control and expectations. Even if they have an income, if they do not have self-control, it can easily become a habit and lead to big losses. And for those who do not have a regular income, the risk is even greater, because they can get more involved in the hope of getting something quickly, and at the same time they cannot easily accept any kind of loss, because they have no money to lose because they have no income. Whenever an unemployed person gambles, he is basically playing to make money, but they should understand well that gambling is not a way of making money.

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..

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.

Gambling without control can be disastrous for a person that don't want to listen to advise from people around them to better know the way they are gambling or quit. There is nothing wrong when you quite gambling but the problem is that if you don't have a tangible sources of income, it might become a problem for you. Gambling need to have some atom of discipline in it if we really want to be profitable and reduce the chances of losing money to gambling.

If you're considering that you lack a tangeable source of income and so that you're going to continue gambling just because you feel that gambling is that tangeable source of income, then you've started getting it completely wrong. As a matter of fact, for you to gamble and even do it the right way, it starts from having a stable source of income that allows you to put a certain amount into gambling and at the same time not being overly affected.

Even before you start gambling, the advice you should give to yourself is that you're not doing this for money. If your mind is all fixed on money, you're bent on being overly focused on it and addiction becomes an unavoidable end for you.

Yes, the correct word in everything is control, but not only in the control of emotions, nor the control of money, it is control over ourselves, in what we are going to do, although it sounds a little silly, planning before going to play is good, my planning is basic, I only plan how much I should spend and that's it, I don't do strategies or ways of playing because I know it's luck, however some players can see how to play, they establish their strategy, which is not bad and is valid.

Someone who doesn't have money and is jobless should be thinking about how to make money and not how to be spending the little they should be managing; even people who have a real job, if they lack self-control, that duty can't restrain them from gambling. They will always make out a chance, which is not that bad as long as they don't overdo it and still spend without turning into an irresponsible man.

I also concur that gambling is particularly dangerous to those who do not have a steady source of income because it turns out to be a means of seeking money but not to have fun. Employment is also beneficial as it brings about structure and financial stability, though not entirely avoiding addiction. Self control is the primary concern, and it may be a problem of even working people. What may seem as innocent fun. may soon become an issue. The best option is to stay out of gambling since it is the only sure way to remain in control particularly when one is already struggling with money.

And that's why it always looks very funny when someone creates a topic on the forum that gambling and betting in his country is one of the types of earnings. Because earnings are the concept of a stable income. And gambling does not have any stable sides from the financial side, because today you may get lucky, and tomorrow you may lose all the money that you won during this time, plus you will borrow and lose this money too. Therefore, we need seriousness and responsibility in the issue of gambling.

Gambling addiction can be just as bad or even worse in some cases then drug addiction. It has ruined a lot of families with divorce and losing everything, or even suicide. Please if you have a gambling addiction, first you need to accept it, then tell someone and get some help! My prayers are with you. If you need someone to talk to about it, hell I will. Even a stranger can be of help sometime. Just know that tomorrow is a new day and it will be ok if you get some kind of help.  Take care..

Gambling addiction isn’t an addiction where you take counseling from an unprofessional.On several occasions have this topic been discussed concerning a spiritual leader praying to remove addiction from a person,most persons believe prayers could make an individual break free from gambling addiction,listen up I’m a Christian and I strongly believe in the power of prayers but not in this scenario where the individual has their own role to play by controlling their impulsive behavior related to gambling.It’s as simple as booking a therapy appointment where you’ll get counseled and back it up with prayer since that’s your perspective.

One thing is certain, it’s either the gambling controls you or you control how you manage your gambling. Thats just how this space works and when it’s the other way round, where you are being controlled by gambling, you are like a barrel rolling down the hill to your own destruction.
Having a sense of control and being able to manage how you gamble or react while gambling is essential to keep off gambling addiction. It’s of utmost necessity and still, a very difficult thing to archive because, you would be fighting against own desire and that’s no easy thing to do.

And the worst thing is that, this gambling addiction is something a lot of people joke about until it starts destroying their life slowly…. Chasing losses is what normally get most people, they do think they can make the lost money back, but before they know it things will get out of hand.. Money issues, stress, broken relationships and all that come with it..
And true? The first step is accepting it first and then talking to someone too, because many people keep it to themselves out of embarrassment.. Sometimes just having someone to listen can really help..

I think you mean that controlling ourselves means exercising self-discipline, which should be of utmost concern and focus for gamblers, because that would help them stay more responsible while gambling. It is not just only in planning the budget, but also the time you spend in the gambling house or online casino. This would also control the rate at which you gamble if you keep to your gambling time, because I believe that if as a disciplined player, you abide by your own time schedule, it is not possible that you must have gambled all your funds before that time elapses. Some funds would be left with you, which you can shift till next gambling session. By doing this, it would keep you more disciplined so that you would be time-conscious while gambling.

Well, in such cases, addicted gamblers tend to rely not on rational thinking, but rather on luck. I think they just pin their hopes on luck every time they start a gaming session, and that's a problem because this illusion of a possible win is one of the main reasons that keeps them playing and prevents them from stopping until their bankroll runs out.

The illusion can keep them gambling over and over again, but not all depend only on luck; some of them still put effort into predicting their game, and if they are depending only on luck, it could have been easier for them to give up sometimes when the winning is not coming after continuous trying.

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

The problem is greed, wanting to get back all you have lost gradually in several occasion during your gambling activities once In that particular game which is not possible and so they keep on chasing their wins or losses which will definitely lead them to addiction except they are able to figure it and stop .

Counselling them will be successful only if they are willing and accept the fact that they are addicted and want to be taken care of .

Ironically, Greed could be considered to be pretty much the driving force within the gambling ecosystem, also within the world of some speculative markets on the world, those related to stocks.
So while it is bad to people in an individual way, greed is something which keep gambling alive in the way we all know it.
It a only becomes a huge problem when a high percentage of the gambling population allow themselves to get carried away by it and allow greed to determine their following actions.

Greed is a natural part of human feelings and ideas, one just need to identify it and stop it when it gets out of control.

And there's no other thing that one pushes to gambling more on which it is basically because of greed, and chasing up your loses on which these are the things that would make you gamble in despite of the losing condition that you are into. We do know that on the moment that you've been that dealing up with gambling then most of the time gamblers will definitely be always having the urge to play when they are winning on which greed activates on and when you do lose then you would be trying out to recover on what you had lost and this is something which really make things that even more worst when you are already trying out to recover those on which it will be making you that deposit even up more and thats the most dangerous or risky thing to be done when dealing up with gambling. Make it sure that you wont be putting yourself into risks when playing and as the golden rule that you shouldnt really be spending more into the amount that you cant afford to lose.

The most important thing in such situations, when a gambler feels bad, is not to remain silent. He should share all his experiences with family and friends. And let them usually turn away from him in moments of intense dependence (because he stole money from them and lied). But all this should be ignored by them for a while in order to save the future of this person, who until recently was their family, but now needs help and psychological support from them. And even though it may not seem very important, the power of words and feelings for someone who is addicted to gambling should not be underestimated.

Not everybody shares their misery with others,  some people just tend to die in their misery and remain in the dark for a while until they get better. For most people,  cases like this could affect their relationship with others for a while and only when they have accepted their faith would they receive therapy. You are right because the greatest support would be from family amd friends and not condemnation at that point. Gambling addiction is a cancer that might never goes away, but a distraction is what addicts would need but not everyone have such opportunity to experience one.

The most important thing in such a situation is for the gambler to be able to admit to their family and friends that they have a gambling addiction, or at least be honest about where the money went.

There are cases when a person borrows money, loses it through gambling, and then cannot bring themselves to admit what happened or repay their debts. In that situation, they often receive no support from their loved ones because those around them simply do not understand what is going on. As a result, the person cannot acknowledge their addiction or confess how they spent the money. They lose the support of family and friends and eventually end up facing the problem completely alone.

Gamblers of all levels, rich and poor, are at equal risk when it comes to gambling. This is most evident among low-income gamblers because they have less available funds. High income gamblers are at the highest risk of becoming addicted because they have more available funds to bet on.
Without self-control, gamblers of all levels are at greater risk because all gamblers bet according to their financial capacity. Low-income gamblers bet less, while high income gamblers bet with more funds. Therefore, gamblers of all levels are equally at risk of losing money.

If an addicted and mentally disturbed person does not share anything with anyone on his own .Then his family and close friends should find out the reason for such a change in him . Then he should be given proper guidance and given time to bring him back to normal life. If at that time he cannot be given time or brought back to the right path, then he will slowly go to a worse stage. Mental depression and tension can bring a person to think like suicide and separation from family and mental disorders for a long time.
