Do you think problem gamblers can save on themselves to start living in the "bright future" they hope for after a big win at the casino?
The same goes for problem bettors and sports betting.

Do you mean after all the forcefully attempt to win and still failing? Even if such people end up winning money some day they are already damaged by the intense consumption of gambling, it will be hard for such people to move on after they won. Such people always come back because they have gotten used to the game already, it's become an addiction, the win won't be enough to stop it anymore even if the amount is a lot to change their life, this is why it's worse to consume gambling activities everyday and make an habit out of it.

Gamblers with addiction and deferred life syndrome

As far as I know someone is a psychologist who has been affected and disturbed or often called addictive behavior or syndrome in gambling is not delayed, but those who are Already classified as syndrome does have health problems, ignore responsibility, daily life and also financial.

Where someone has been declared gambling syndrome, they are uncontrolled or have a pattern of gambling that is continuous or that we often see in general they are inability to control themselves when gambling, They are only one desire to increase bets, on the basis of that often syndrome diseases no longer care about their lives, whether they are no longer careful of clothes or food, as far as I know, dangerous diseases in gambling.

These are the first actual signals to expect from an addicted gambler. Most of the times, consequences that comes with gambling addiction takes a very long time to show, from losing their income, spend savings trying to chase other loses, to selling of properties and valuables, before borrowing little by little from friends and families.

Addicted gamblers usually have the nerve of feeling like their lucky times are near, they keeping spending in hope to catch their luck, believing it will give them enough to clear up their debts instead it takes them deeper to an extent where recovering becomes impossible.

Most addicted gamblers don't save for the future, whenever they win big from a casino, what comes to mind is increasing their betting power, that is the reason why most gamblers that won big are no more financially stable even after winning a life changing amount.

That’s because they’re already addicted. Gambling becomes the main priority, so if money is limited, they’ll sacrifice other things just to gamble since that’s the only thing that satisfies them. When they win, they feel happy, but they won’t stop because of the addiction. And we all know the law of averages, casinos always have the edge, so eventually they’ll lose all their money.

Some people only learn the hard way. They need to experience bankruptcy before it sinks in. And for the worst cases, they won’t stop until they lose everything. Sometimes it even pushes them to commit crimes just to finance their gambling addiction.

There's always hope as long as we are living. Gambling addicts can still stand from this, maybe after rehabilitation or some help from their family and relatives.

It is true that it can make a person's life worse because of loans and debts, but all of those will wait to be paid if there's no available money from the borrower. Or they can put him behind bars, but that will just make it worse because no money will be back, and in fact, they will be spending more getting a lawyer and some fees.

I do not think so.

The problem with gambling addiction is that even if you win that huge jackpot that you are chasing, you'd be stuck on that loop of chasing that feeling again. Most likely than not, a gambler who wins the jackpot would MOST LIKELY gamble their winnings again chasing that feeling.

This is the problem that most gamblers should know and avoid at the same time. Sometimes, we wish of winning that huge jackpot but in reality, we are chasing that feeling of "high" whenever we win, thereby losing more in the process.

Because the subject is an addicted gambler, it is highly likely that the cycle they go through after a big win is enjoying the win and continuing to gamble. Indeed, the focus of gamblers from the beginning is to make money from gambling. I am not sure about lifestyle changes and becoming better in the future with a win. Because when they gamble again, the bad situations in the gambler's life before can happen again.

When I read an article about a gambler with addiction, I noticed that he often mentioned that when he started to accumulate debts among friends, and loans from banks, he began to eat worse, stopped buying new clothes. He began to live in the Syndrome of Deferred Life. What kind of syndrome is this?

Be careful about attributing what a gambler faces with this syndrome, because it seems like something different. The typical deferred life syndrome would be someone working hard and saving relentlessly towards retirement, to the extent that they neglect their short term happiness and perhaps live a less balanced life than average. A gambler is the opposite - they fulfill their short term interests immediately every single day and get the satisfaction from it. The fact that somebody starts eating worse and stops buying clothes is simply a consequence of spending every single penny on an addiction. If they stopped gambling they might have more free cash and be able to start buying nice things again.

It is going to be difficult for a problem gambler to do so. Because of how messed up mentality of some of these gamblers have become from excessive gambling. After a big win, you find some of these gamblers first planning out the money they hope to invest back into gambling instead of making some efforts to get some basic needs like good clothes and even good food. This particular issue is not only special to gamblers but is a general problem with everyone who is fighting addiction because addicts will in most cases give importance to their addictions first before their well-being.

Humans are greedy by nature so what more of an addicted gambler. People like them don't have plans to stop gambling even if they get the jackpot.

Problematic gamblers like them is beyond saving and should need of extensive rehabilitation to help them with their gambling addicition.

Certainly and this is part of the reason why the advocacy for responsible gambling continues to ring louder and louder than ever. It's generally in phases and for those that haven't gotten to that extent, it's easy to think that gamblers don't get addicted to an extent that they deprive themselves of Thier entitlement just so they can have spair money for Thier gambling.

It's a state that's sponsored by greed and that has led so many into wreck.

Just yesterday, I watched a documentary where the person had a loan to multiple loan sharks and creditors. They also revealed his daily revenue (since he got his own business), and it's quite huge compared to a minimum wage earner here in our country, but around 80-90% of that revenue goes to the creditors because he took a loan to them. The remaining 10-20% is his net income for that day which if you will look, it's around half of the salary of a minimum wage earner. He deferred his life, and instead of having a life where he got a savings account, being invested to multiple assets or his business, and can feed his family, it's the complete opposite and his family is having a hard time financially.

As for problem gamblers, they always have this mindset where if they secure a BIG WIN, they will have a better future, but in reality, most of them ending up chasing their losses and their life becomes worse and worse instead of becoming better and better. I would say that these problem gamblers lack of discipline, and for them, I would suggest for them to spend their time into other things instead of gambling or they might lose even more money.

This deferred life syndrome on some gamblers must be a next level addiction and the gambler definitely need help as soon as possible. Deferred happiness is not something that is good for anybody, it can lead to have harmful taughts that can end up in contemplating suicide because nothing makes sense in the present anymore. Gambling is fun but if we don't control ourselves to engage in it responsibly we can experience these negative aspects of it. It's important for people to monitor the habits of their loved ones if they notice any unusual behaviors they should give necessary help.

The idea of having a brighter future in gambling when they win big is often dependent on hope and luck. The problem gambler or bettors dont stop when they win, they keep on betting believing they are in a state of good luck but indirectly its a trap to keep them gambling and betting more.

The solution to gamblers or bettors like this is a shift in their mindset. Their conclusion of winning and losing, most especially the delusion of chasing luck whenever they win or lose to managing their bankroll and building solid discipline.

That’s because they’re already addicted. Gambling becomes the main priority, so if money is limited, they’ll sacrifice other things just to gamble since that’s the only thing that satisfies them. When they win, they feel happy, but they won’t stop because of the addiction.

The unfortunate thing is that such kind of gambler never know how they look physically and it never bothers them. Just like a drunk or someone inebriated by alcohol, they lose focus to their responsibility. The only thing that makes them happy is when they win but if they don't win they return back to their shell and moody.

It is a serious derailing habit when you can not control your gambling habit. It can lead to backwardness because of the debt that you will have to carry to yourself.

It turns out that a gambler with problems with gambling addiction begins to constantly live on credit, both financial and simply on credit for his happiness. Ln believes that one day he will be able to realize these goals, although at a certain point this faith is thinned and a depressive state occurs, in which he understands that he has turned the wrong way and continues to stubbornly go and it is always better to stop until the point of no return has come.

And it depends on each gambler individually when he can admit that his life has turned into an uncontrollable casino.

I never heard of this syndrome; it looks like a syndrome for old or aged persons who have no more interest in the bright future. Since he/she is addicted, nothing else is important to her/him except gambling.

That's why we need to be disciplined and limit ourselves in casinos if we don't want to end up the same as this person with that syndrome.
And don't expect much that you can hit a jackpot because not all people are lucky to hit a huge reward from the casino's.

The phenomenon of Deferred Life Syndrome is not a weird new term in the DSM, it just sounds kinda pop psych rather than being scientific. But yup it is a legit concept in where people keep on avoiding to enjoy the life until some big, undefined thing come into their life. you know that is a very typical attitude among problem gamblers that they keep clinging to the one big win fantasy & putting off life in the present. However, it could be turned around completely just by starting small, rewarding yourself today & not waiting for tomorrow. i will suggest to develop routines, discuss with peers or professionals & make your aspirations real, not any wishful fog. And ngl that is the way to wake up & come to real life from your imaginary thoughts of future.

If a gambler can overcome their addiction after a big win at the casino, they can improve their life and create a better future. However, the chances for an addicted gambler who faces issues related to deferred syndrome, as you mentioned, will be quite slim.
The main problem is the financial pressure experienced by the gambler. When they win big, the situation may improve. But with the effects of addiction, how long can an addicted gambler continue to live well, even with big winnings? There will be many needs that drain a lot of money in a short time, such as paying off debts and continuing to fund their gambling.

Deferred Life Syndrome sounds a lot like being a Bitcoiner. Where you get to choose how rich you will become based on how much you stack and how little you spend. The only problem being that nobody lives forever, so at some point you must decide to go against you thoughts and spend some of those sweet coins.

Most people start getting addicted to gambling after a big win due to greed and that need to keep on winning. But if they can prioritize other things to ensure that they live a well fulfilled life then they wouldn't get into lots of trouble just because they are gambling. Gambling addiction is indeed a vice and just like you mentioned it makes some people play less attention to the important things they need to live a healthy life
