Breaking Point in Gambling

[tottong]

At this point my only advice to him is to stop anything gambling when he is finally out of this depth because he is at his breaking point already. So what is your take on this issues?
Do you think he should continue gambling or he should stop?

This is a step that gamblers should avoid because sometimes we enter the addiction category unconsciously, and when this happens, it's generally difficult to recover.
I don't know how other people deal with gambling, but I usually set a budget and, when that budget is used up, I stop gambling for a set period.
This has been quite helpful in managing excessive gambling and can be considered quite successful in preventing addiction.

When we set a specific budget for gambling, it won't affect other needs, and perhaps the problem will be resolved. Although it may be difficult to maintain consistency at first, this pattern can gradually limit someone's involvement in excessive gambling.

The impact of gambling addiction that cannot be avoided unless he realizes that if it continues then everything is completely destroyed. Your advice is very correct but a gambler is sometimes not enough just with advice but he himself must also act to make a decision to end his gambling.

Sometimes advice for highly impulsive individuals is ineffective. I had a friend who was very enthusiastic about poker and did not listen to anyone. Meeting another person who had already quit playing because he had significant problems and debts made a strong impression on him. Sometimes it is not advice that is needed, but a real example of the consequences.

A breaking point is the point you'll get to and you call it a quite in what ever you are doing.  The point were you are stretched to your limit and the option you should opt for is just giving up.
SO AT WHAT POINT SHOULD YOU CALL IT A QUIT IN GAMBLING? What is the level you will get to and you another its your breaking point in gambling?

Once you've gotten to that level where it appears you're just chasing after your loss, you should know better that calling it a stop is the best thing to do. The reason why we continue to see cases of gambling addiction on the rise is because the addicted gambler fail to know that at certain point, they are to walk away and for some, even though they know when to walk away, the ability to make that decision becomes the toughest thing to do.

If you're depending on yourself in terms of being disciplined enough to stop when you haven't set a modality in place then you're going to end up decieving yourself because failure to make proper plan for your exit strategy at the time you're a bit vulnerable will eventually lead to certainty in addiction.

There is this similar spirit that gamblers has, that i have come across so many gamblers that don't want to give up even when they know that they have gotten to the level in which they are just chasing after losing and still they don't want give simply because they still believe that one day there story might change through gambling, and it is obvious that essence of everything is bad, so with addiction in gambling we not make some of the gamblers to have a breaking point and even when they don't have to ticket in that particular week they will make a way to get money to stake and even it is the last money with to use and eat.

We see many real examples, but there are also many people for whom reality or real consequences do not work. They are realizing that nothing good will be achieved from this, rather it will only continue to harm, but despite this there are many who continue to play the game. It is certainly true that reality hits directly, where there is little room for denial, but for those who do not understand even at this stage, nothing can give them the right understanding.

Breaking point seems like my stopping point and when i usually call it off or quit in gambling is basically when my budgets and limits is exceeded, anything other than this is a no for me. And I think your colleague needs to call it off entirely due to the percentage of debts he must have accrued from his irresponsible gambling habits, that way he would experience stability both mentally and financially as he gradually pays off his debts.

That's pretty simple, although everyone have their own method but this method of stopping when your budget is running low is really doable, some people who are gradually falling for addiction will always find it very difficult to have a breaking point because that moment that they are supposed to take a break is when their mind keeps telling them to continue gambling until they have lost all their money. Breaking point should even be set before you start gambling, such that once you lost a certain amount, you will automatically call it off.

When a gambler is under the pressure of debt, his situation will continue to deteriorate. If it happens that he spends more than his monthly expenses to pay off the amount of money he has borrowed and he has to borrow again, then he should definitely stop at that time. If he continues to gamble at that time, then he is likely to suffer more losses. And at that stage, the gambler will never be able to get out of the mental pressure. Although he should have quit gambling long ago, but even if it is late, I think it is better for him to stop gambling quickly and stop gambling until his financial situation stabilizes.

This is what really worries me when someone becomes addicted to gambling excessively. It's very dangerous to gamble, taking out loans and getting into debt. In my opinion, this is a disease. They should set aside a monthly allowance outside of their basic needs for gambling. Occasionally, they can take larger risks, but not too often. If someone is addicted, they should first see a psychologist to stabilize their mental state if the condition is acute. Then, stop gambling temporarily and, after recovery, play small games, remembering that it's only for entertainment.

Debt itself is already a big trouble and not something that anyone should do. Taking it just to gamble? That is even worse and there are seriously some people out there who do it, that is very sad. I wish that more people knew that gambling is designed to make you lose, so taking out a loan, you are losing double sided.

First you lose by getting a loan where you take out one number but you pay back more than what you take out, secondly you lose because gambling will take the one that you take as well so there is nothing left while you pay double. That is why people should avoid taking loans unless they are sure that they can make the best out of that loan and gambling isn't one of those ways where you can make it back.

To avoid developing a gambling addiction, a gambler must be a well-rounded individual. First, no gambler should focus solely on gambling. Loneliness and boredom can have a very negative impact on some people. I've heard stories of gamblers who were fired from their jobs and then, out of boredom and a desire to earn money, began actively gambling. The worst part is that they had good luck at first, but it later became a major problem. And then their debts piled up.

This is a point that we must highlight because apart from our too big focus that makes gambling as if everything from the story you gave we realize that the ambition to get the average money is always the reason some gamblers do the action when if we are more able to think rationally then gambling is not the right thing to get income. But because our ambitions are much greater and because maybe this is also a factor of difficulty in making money because they do not have a job but still there are many things we can do apart from gambling if the goal is to earn income.

Most people are too pessimistic as if gambling is a solution when if we look further this is clearly not a worth it thing to do because gambling is still gambling and we only need to have fun not make a steady income when we play gambling.

Obviously, he should stop simply because he has already crossed the line. He is spending more than he can afford to lose. He is already affected both financially and emotionally. He should stop and focus on paying all his debt for now, and once everything is settled, he should really stop. Or if he can’t stop and ends up spending all of his salary, at least he shouldn’t ask for a loan. I’m not saying that’s good, but at least his emotional stress will be less because he isn’t paying any loan/debt.

That's right, when I play, I don't think of the game as a source of income  Before , I used to see it that way, and I wasted a lot of money unnecessarily. I wasn't doing it for fun, but to make money, and I made a lot of mistakes.

I learned the hard way with that mindset, I didn't know about forums, I didn't know anything, and there was no one to tell me how this system worked  Everything I know, I learned through my own experience.

[junder]

Yes you are right. About 40% of gamblers are victims of such a situation. Gambling in such an aggressive way will bring a very bad time for a person. Because when a person does not have any kind of control over when to stop and when to move forward, the person who is in such a situation may be going to face a very bad situation in the future. For example, if they keep losing and if they do not stop and continue to gamble in debt, they will become burdened with debt after a while. Maybe he may even commit suicide after a while because of being burdened with debt

Lacking self-control, such as not knowing when to stop, is a problem. But perhaps if you're prepared for the risk of losing everything, it's not a problem. However, many people can't stop, but not being prepared for the risks is the problem.

I believe there are people who gamble with good self-control, whether from the start or through experience. I myself learned from my own experiences.

And you're right, those who can't stop gambling at the right time are likely to get into debt because of the desire to recoup their losses.

Yea, you are right. This is why if I'm talking against gambling addiction, I always use an addict as an example to the person in question. That will make them have a problem understanding of the consequences of addiction and will make them think twice assuming they wanted to ignore my advise. Most times, talking doesn't help but real life experience scarce them.

The point when it is affecting everything around you. Your family. Your financial capability for yourself and those who you are responsible with. Your savings is gone. You cannot even buy food that you like even for once a week.

All that points to the fact that we are being drowned in gambling and that means we have to do something about it. If it is quitting that is the best possible solution, then do it without looking back. It's not like those online casinos will suddenly close shop. They will always be there waiting so we don't have to rush over and deplete our money in a day or two.

Using the example of the lived experience of an addicted gambler who has swallowed the bitter risk of gambling is a good way to illustrate that his fate could also end up like that. According to some psychologists, certain moments can help someone to sober up, for example when the mood is calm and our advice is more acceptable. So when you want to give advice, you have to look at the situation and the condition of the person.

Most of us have felt the same way, especially when we get a win then surely we will think that this is a very good place to double the money we have but that's just a naive thought that we have and only think only with our greed and surely we will be slapped with the reality that this really cannot be used as a full belief in gambling.

But on the one hand sometimes experiences like this are also important because by feeling something like this where the expectations we have do not match the reality, we are indirectly more able to think clearly where in the end gambling remains a gamble where luck always has a big share to make us profitable.

You're right, reality hits us hard at the casino, that's why I think about it over and over again before betting money there, because things get difficult when we're winning, when we're excited, and that's something that's hard to control. What I've read a lot about is that it can be managed through money; if we control our finances, many problems can be avoided.

SO AT WHAT POINT SHOULD YOU CALL IT A QUIT IN GAMBLING? What is the level you will get to and you know its your breaking point in gambling?

If gambling is affecting me mentally already then that's the time where I will say "I will stop gambling for now."

If gambling is affecting you mentally, that's a bad sign already because there's a chance that you will make bad decisions and bad things in the future especially when you're losing money consecutively. Quitting in gambling is very hard because there are some gamblers that they can't accept losses therefore, they will gamble more and more. On the other hand, there are some gamblers who have a hard time quitting because they want more money after winning.

Well obviously you made the right thing. To give him advice to stop gambling and to focus more on paying his debts.

Paying his debts while still gambling might lead to anxiety and the next to that is he will be depressed and soon after, if it becomes worse and worse, that might lead to suicide as well especially if he losses more and more while paying his debts. He should stop gambling obviously because like what you said, he's at his "breaking point" already. It would also be better if you will take care or at least observe him, and help him to not gamble anymore.

Most times, talking doesn't help but real life experience scarce them.

Sometimes we shouldn't just give an advise without using some certain examples to complete the information you are giving a gambler that is trying to stay away from the addiction they have been battling. Addiction has so many consequences and it is not just all about list of funds or becoming mentally unstable because of the different situation the person might have put themselves.

There is no doubt that he should stop gambling. But... Since we see that your colleague is addicted to gambling, he cannot do it on his own. In this case, it will be impossible to do without qualified medical care.
