Staking more than you receive or earn

[Alex077]

The only real advice in a dramatic situation is to stop immediately, regain your financial strength to get by without spending extra money.
For your physical and psychological well-being alone, dedicate time to exercise, and after a few months of healthy living, you'll feel regenerated.
Then your conscience will decide whether to start gambling again, continue living a healthy and simple life, or even keep your addiction under control and gamble rarely.
It all depends on the person; we're not all the same, but STOP immediately if you're in a deteriorating situation.

 we should face it, telling someone to quit gambling is easy but it is not sufficient. you know willpower alone is not enough to stop it completely. Many times people gamble to relieve stress, boredom, or depression. If these problems are not resolved the cycle continues.

If you want to tell someone to stop gambling, you first need to understand his mental state. Counseling, psychotherapy or support groups could help. yeah i agree with you being physically active, such as exercising or taking up a new hobby also helps to keep our mood up. It reduces boredom & diverts attention.

So yeah quitting gambling is the beginning of a journey. Lets deal with it in a healthy way & find a longterm solution

I got really worried over the habit of some friends who are into betting or gambling and how they often stake into a game in a week more than what they earn even in a month and most time are not able to get it back in a couple of plays. So it got me really worried and concerned

What would be your advice for such if they were to be your friends as a caring friend who want them to not get financially drained in the process?

I don't think you can convince them with that kind of habit. Afterall, they are adults and are capable of determining what's wrong and not.
I also have friends who gambles more than me, which I think they are too frequent to be considered normal.
There's only one thing I told them, to never come to me to seek for financial help when they are financially drained.

Before giving advice on this, you have to look at everything in a way and if he is your only close friend. If you trust you the most, you can suggest. You can tell him at the beginning, you don't gambling too much. Because it will gradually become addicted. Since it is the money earned in his troubles and what that means should be evaluated and spend for himself and the family. I think he must understand and not just win in his life, he has lost. Since he is slowly losing money, his game should be reduced slowly. Although it is not possible too quickly. And you should always be busy with your friend and exercise physically or do different sports then he will be able to refrain from gambling.

Unfortunately, advice is something that addicted gamblers often do not need. As people say, "there is nothing useless than unsolicited advice." But this is a slightly different case, and the relatives of such a gambler can be understood, because they only want good.

If there are relatives that loves the victim dearly, they will forcefully make sure they deprive the addict from gambling again and would adopt every possible measures that would ensure the person stops gambling. Just like the new thread that was just created few days ago, a man is using all his salary to gamble but the daughter is not aware of it and she is suffering to provide for the needs of her parents, not knowing that her dad is an addicted gambler who lavish all the money he gets on gambling. If the daughter finds out, she will definitely want to help him.

When a gambler starts gambling with his own money, he thinks that he will either play in a 50/50 ratio (losses and wins), or will win consistently. But when most gamblers are faced with the fact that they have already lost their own money, they rather try to come up with a plan to get this money back.
That is why many gamblers start borrowing money from their relatives or taking loans from the bank. Although initially they do not think about it at all.

That is why the concept of codependency is often encountered in solving problems of addicted gambling - This is when the relatives of an addicted gambler try to help him so much that they even begin to change their way of life for the worse, or they also begin to sleep poorly at night, just like this gambler.
And sometimes there are cases when even they will need the help of specialists, as people whose psychology has also undergone severe degradation.

It is okay for a gambler to use his discretionary funds to gamble but it won't be okay at all to gamble with your entire salary and still loan to continue gambling. Gambling more than what you earn is a bad practice. Since he's a family man, I encourage his family especially his wife and daughter to pay close attention to him because a gambler of that kind is already suffering from an unstable mental health. He is already an addict and needs to be put to stop as soon as they can to help him regain his mental health strongly.

It will be easy to convince some gamblers  to reduce the amount of money they are using in staking games, because they will flash back to some amount of money they have lost waiting for this kind of advise to come to adjust from the amount of money staking games.

Those that take gambling as an investment will not listen to your advise, because their mindset toward gambling is different from the mindset of other gamblers. Such gamblers will not change that habit for any reason because their target is big money from their staking that will make them not to pay attention to anyone advise. Not that they are addicted to gambling but they just like to continue trying their luck until they succeed to win big from the staking.

I agree with what you said. Just because we give a reminder doesn't mean they'll listen right away. They'll hear it, but then it's up to them if it truly sinks in.

We know that many people have different reasons for gambling. Most often, it's to pass the time, to forget their problems, or to hit the jackpot.
It really just depends on them; that's simply how it

And you should always be busy with your friend and exercise physically or do different sports then he will be able to refrain from gambling.

But after seeing the story I think that his friend is already a addicted gambler if not He will not spend more than that amount he can earn. This is contradicting the first rules of gambling that is spent that much what we can afford to lose and here we see that he is crossing that amount so he is violating the first terms. And this makes him a irresponsible gambler. And as well also the sign of addicted gambler.

So in this case, if he wants to give suggestions to his friend for recovery, then I would say that those suggestions should be individualized and, instead of saying everything directly, you should directly explain with examples how terrible this kind of situation is in gambling. Because otherwise, when you go to make suggestions, he will think  you are their bad wishers

He might not be suffering from any form of unstable mental health or if he is actually in such a health situation, he might have complained to his closet friends and family about it. You know that most of the people with such a habit do no even care or realize the kind of situation that they are into unless someone discovers it on their own and start fighting it for them to stop. I mentioned a situation with a friend on mine in high school, he didn't even notice his level of addiction and it was not causing him any mental health problem, his parents tried to help him but all to no result.

You're absolutely right. Betting more than you win is never healthy. Stopping at the right time, taking a deep breath, and distracting yourself with another activity helps you get your head back on track. Only then can you return later with more calm and awareness.

Some questions that I am forced to ask sometimes is, do some gambler actually gamble with 100% of their total earnings per month, because is surprising to see how we are beginning to see gambling, some are even going as far as taking up loans to gamble with, this is a risk too much to take if you ask me, we need to limit and minimize the amount we set aside for gambling, at list it should be amount that can not hurt your finances in any ways.

It's never really advisable to place a bet with more than what we can accept if the result of the game did not happen as we projected it. Budget is essential in betting, and once one hits that limit, they should stop for that day, not even just taking a temporary break, but they should walk away from gambling until they make another gambling budget so as not to spend rapidly on gambling without control.

Well said mate. Gambling with an amount that would get the gambler affected when the game doesn't go as expected is bad the best thing is to gamble with a budgeted amount as you already said but when the bet doesn't go well taking a break for that day is the best thing to day so that you will not chase your loss and lose more money. Having control of your gambling activities is good but budgeting helps to limit and regulate it if you follow it up.

[mcdouglasx]

If you bet more than you win, there's a problem. It means you're exceeding limits that you should be clear about, so that it's a healthy gambling system. This should be the standard phrase for every gambler: "Don't bet more money than you can afford to lose."

If you follow the rules from the beginning and have your limits clear, I'm sure you won't fall, or it will be very difficult for you to fall, into this type of behavior.

That's the best and wise way to deal with gambling, set your budget and set your limit, if you failed or mistakenly pick your bet then acceptance is a key to move forward, chasing or exceeding to what you set up may harm not just your financial but also your mental as you will keep repeating that same mistake and you'll find yourself gettig to deep engaging to gambling.

It's you that have the full control over your emotion and having good anticipation and discipline to make that hard stop if needed is very important dealing to this venue of entertainment.

This is really nice advice, this is the only way to avoid addiction and emotion, having a budget will have your financial life, if only you can stick for it. Gambling life should be plan and stick with, in gambling we lose more than we win and when the win come withdraw and plan again, do not be move by your  winning, without plan you will still lose all.

Some gamblers just want to recover their lost and they keep betting till they lose all, that is a poor gambling habit we should never partake, it will destroy your finance. Also have a plan budget when you exceed it, take a break till you have more money to continue, gambling will always be here , is not ending soon, so be patient and plan a budget for it.

Since you say they are your friends I would advice you to always tell them the truth about their gambling habits, never hesitate to tell them how it would affect their financial life if they are not careful about how they spend money more than they earn. Gambling more than you earn is a bad financial decision and they are in for a long ride and that would definitely affect their future, they should be able to listen to your advice and make a positive turn now, there's a saying that goes "show me your friend and I will tell you who you are" you are different from your friends and if they are unable to change their gambling habits then they will definitely ruin your reputation.

It's crazy how some gamblers can this reckless and mismanagement excited. Why on earth would I wish to risk what I can't afford to lose and at same time risk not catching fun and entertained from the activity. We don't have to undermine the role of a bankroll in assisting us stick to responsible gambling behaviour, for when a threshold is set we can barely want to go beyond what we have already set as what we can afford risking to lose.
