Reasons for Gambling addiction

[boyptc]

This is basically how addiction in general works - positive potential results.. but has solution to give you the results = Addiction.

It's the same for the negative results.

We'll still become addicted even if we get the negative potential results. So, there's no other way or route for it for as long as we've been gambling for so long and we don't guard ourselves from it.

And to stop this you can only replace the activities and it's not as easy as it sounds, it is a very difficult

Use healthy habits to satisfy your urges.

Yes, it's not easy to change habits so that you'll also change the activities that you'd do.

If someone is going to make sure they don't become addicted, that's the better solution instead of making a solution when someone is already addicted.

You're making things difficult by yourself because gambling addiction doesn't work that way. Are you telling us to stop gambling?

Because as long as you are gambling responsibly with the amount you can afford to lose there's no how you can get addicted to gambling because you are just having fun, it is only when you start gambling to become rich overnight that you would end up getting addicted, without that, there's nothing concerned you with addiction.

If you gamble because of : relaxation, extra money, escape of reality, pleasure, to calm your self, then you are likely to become addicted within a period of time.

For extra money, sure it will be a reason for someone to become addicted because they have to do it again and again. But for those gamblers that do it to escape reality and just want to have some relaxation and me time through gambling, they're barely going to be addicted on it. Because they won't spend too much time on it and when they're done, they're done from it. What they'd do next will depend on them and that's why I don't think that they will become addicted for those reasons. You're there to relax and so, why would you make yourself addicted from it?

Emotional stability in the process of attaining personal pleasure greatly defines the difference between the relationship of a hobby being helpful or a weight on the life of a person. I guess we are on our right minds when we regard gambling as a way to relax and determine when no more gambling is necessary. We are also free of financial pressure, and thus we can be relaxed whenever any situation comes our way. Such sense of direction results in an easier journey back to reality with an infinitely greater sense of direction.

We've been stressed out by real world problems and so, why would we think that we'll become addicted to gambling if we're just relaxing through it. There is no reason for someone to spend a lot of time when they're busy working people and have just found a way to release those stress as they gamble. That's why if someone is doing it for those reasons, as you've said, they're on the right mind and track of their lives. Because they know what must be done and what must not be done as they gamble. There's no pressure of how much you'd gamble and you do it to have fun until the dedicated bankroll is depleted or you decided to stop freely anytime.

It seems like this section is becoming overwhelmed with topics about gambling addiction, as if there is nothing left to discuss about gambling.

When one talks about addiction in gambling most people always think it's always greed or love of money that causes it but it's more than that

I would call this the primary reason for people's interest in gambling, but certainly not the cause of gambling addiction.

Sometimes when I ask some gamblers if they are addicted they'll just reply as
"No I just come here to relax an play some games"

As if anyone would realize their addiction and publicly admit it to the people around them. They will continue until the very end (the final, advanced stage, when all is lost and hiding the addiction is pointless, because everyone around them already knows about it).

You may wonder how..
It all stars from the brain. Your brain cares for you and anything you find as an activity of positivity it will always want to go back there

There's nothing secret about this, as biochemical processes occurring in a gambler's body (including the brain) are the cause of gambling addiction. Simply put, winning creates positive habits (and losing creates negative ones) due to the production of certain neurotransmitters in the body, i.e., these are psychophysiological processes.

If you gamble because of : relaxation, extra money, escape of reality, pleasure, to calm your self, then you are likely to become addicted within a period of time.

There is only one solution: play for a short time, not systematically (every day), but chaotically.

This is basically how addiction in general works - positive potential results.. but has solution to give you the results = Addiction.
And to stop this you can only replace the activities and it's not as easy as it sounds, it is a very difficult

That's why you shouldn't get too carried away with gambling and should instead have an alternative hobby you can switch to to distract yourself from it. Because the more time you spend gambling (not just actively playing, but also thinking about tactics and simply thinking about it), the more it attracts you and provokes you to gamble again.

Gambling should not be the meaning of your life, but only a part.

Use healthy habits to satisfy your urges.

Gambling is dangerous because it combines many of the things we crave, including opportunities and feelings. For example, it offers the chance to earn extra income, the ability to relax, and the ability to escape harsh reality for a while and find inner peace.

Of course, it's best to find satisfaction for all these needs through various hobbies. For example, to earn extra money, you should start a small business. Or simply take on more part-time jobs. And for inner relaxation, you should read books and play sports.

Addiction comes when you often or excessive things to do it again and again regardless the consequences it may have, e.g. in gambling the chase of getting more money. Relaxation, pleasure and to calm your self is not symptoms of gambling addiction it's taking other substance, who feels relaxed or pleasure when getting you're lost in the first place.

Gambling addiction doesn't come from one source,it's a combination of different feelings.It’s usually the result of psychological,biological, social, and environmental factors working together.Gambling addiction is not about lack of self-control alone.It’s about how the human psychology interacts with the systems designed to exploit it in the first place.

Addiction can happen to anything in any way, it cannot be said that addiction occurs here only for this reason, of course addiction is created with various feelings. When we give too much importance to a thing, or when we keep involving ourselves deeply in it and constantly think about it, then the onset of addiction begins. Anything should be managed in a limited range and controlled, then it does not create a problem, but excessive importance can lead to addiction over time.

Most people are addicted to gambling not because of anything else, but because of their love for money. As long as someone sees gambling as a way of making money, he or she will always be ready to take any kind of risk. With that mindset, the person may start gambling with what he or she can afford to lose, and once someone starts gambling with what they can afford to lose, they may gradually become addicted.but if someone is gambling for fun, they will hardly get addicted because they will always try to gamble with what they can afford to lose, since they are there for entertainment, not for making money.therefore, the reason why most people get addicted is mainly because of their mindset toward gambling as a way of making money.

Indeed, many people in the modern world love money. I think it was the same in the past, but the thirst was somewhat less intense. Today, with the rise of social media, where glamorous and luxurious lives are often showcased, this influences even teenagers, who want to make huge amounts of money quickly, even though they lack the skills to do so as adults. Besides the influence of social media, I would also point to a hereditary factor, which is sometimes passed on to children, and as they grow older, this can manifest itself in gambling if they try it at some point, sometimes even later in life, but very aggressively, without managing the risks.

There is no specific reason why a player becomes addicted to gambling. Here it is necessary to consider a set of reasons that depend on a person's social status in society and his psychological state. In addition, we should not forget about the biological causes, the main of which is dopamine.

both perspectives have some truth. gambling responsibly within your means and purely for entertainment does reduce the risk of addiction and that is true. but it is also a reality that addiction does not always begin with the thought of i will become rich. many times people start just for fun and slowly become emotionally involved then lose control due to the pressure of not wanting to accept loss or trying to recover previous losses. therefore i do not believe gambling should be completely banned. at the same time simply thinking i am responsible does not mean there is no risk and that is not entirely true. the real point is understanding your mental state setting limits avoiding excessive expectations from outcomes and having the ability to stop when necessary. the moment gambling is no longer just entertainment but becomes a source of pressure or expectation that is when problems begin.

Addiction is something we can work on and try to avoid it if gamblers can be wise enough to know when they are doing it too much. Gambling can be controlled and we have the decision to make concerning that if we really want to be without stain when gambling.
Addiction have affected so many gamblers but they will still see gambling activities as normal because their consciousness have not unveiled that to them.

Knowing when we going too far requires discipline, it means we should always be in control and I'm check all the time, many gamblers are not disciplined, they don't know when they are out of course, they gamble without control and they don't and that's when the problem comes in, you will agree with me that addiction is a habit, if we can say, this is how we will be doing things and make sure we keep to the rule we set for ourselves, I don't think anyone will complain about addiction, although I understand that it is not really easy but since we understand how harmful addiction can be, anything we do to control is not too much.

It's the same for the negative results.

We'll still become addicted even if we get the negative potential results. So, there's no other way or route for it for as long as we've been gambling for so long and we don't guard ourselves from it.

But most addictions occur because a gambler's excessive focus on positive outcomes such as winning, addiction begins with a gambler's intensity in winning, but if the outcome is negative such as losing, gamblers usually find it difficult to stop because they are not responsible gamblers who cannot accept losing.

And to stop this you can only replace the activities and it's not as easy as it sounds, it is a very difficult

Yes, it's not easy to change habits so that you'll also change the activities that you'd do.

If someone is going to make sure they don't become addicted, that's the better solution instead of making a solution when someone is already addicted.

One reason why breaking a gambling habit is difficult is because those who still place excessive expectations on winning. In most cases, this often leads gamblers to gamble because of hope, overconfidence, and the fact that they see others winning, which indirectly encourages them to try again.

The key is to understand and realize that winning is beyond the player's control.

Getting rid of addiction is not just about understanding gambling; it is also about being disciplined. Of course, you can understand gambling but not be willing to stay disciplined. Not everyone who is addicted to gambling doesn't understand gambling; the truth is many gamblers lack self-control, and this is what leads them into gambling addiction.

Understanding is the first step; knowing that gambling must be played with an amount that you can afford to lose is another aspect. Additionally, self-discipline is crucial because some people struggle with controlling their gambling urges. Whenever they feel the urge, they simply succumb and lack the strength to resist it.

Self control and preparing a gambling budget is one of the steps to prevent addiction in gambling, because if you have a limited budget it will be a strong wall that will prevent you from gambling excessively, it is important to be a responsible gambler.

Self control and preparing a gambling budget is one of the steps to prevent addiction in gambling, because if you have a limited budget it will be a strong wall that will prevent you from gambling excessively, it is important to be a responsible gambler.

Self-control and setting a clear budget are very important, but many gamblers fail in this area, which causes their gambling to get out of control, and this causes them to have a bad situation. When a gambler limits the amount of money they can afford to lose, has the mentality to accept both wins and losses equally, and knows when to stop, I don't think it can be a cause of addiction. Maintain self-control, then there will be no problem.

I guess the only reason for gambling addiction is that you lose control of yourself and you fail to manage the risk, hence gambling addiction develops. No matter how you treat gambling as kind of hobby or for some relaxation, but if you dare to cross the line and break the limits, gambling addiction is sure to develop. This is the reason why discipline is a must. Know your weaknesses, and if gambling is one of them, better stay away from gambling itself.

We cannot completely prohibit everyone from staying away from gambling, and many people enjoy it as a form of entertainment from the stress of their daily lives. I think that's not the only thing that makes someone addicted, sometimes winning can make them forget to keep playing and make them addicted because what they get is money and they ignore the risk of loss in the long term. What they have to do is exercise self control and set strict limits, such as time limits on playing, and the amount of money wagered, or even avoid certain types of gambling games that require no skill such as slots
