Reasons for Gambling addiction

[Orpichukwu]

There are chances that we can in anytime choose to gamble recklessly and this might be due to having losing streak to the extent of getting angered and looking for opportunity to recover those loses. There is no person that can be 100% disciplined that have not gambled carelessly before. Even though the target is to make money, we still have to have the discipline to say no when things are getting worse.

Self-discipline is important in gambling; even if one is losing, he needs to try as much as he can not to follow gambling in a revenge mood because once you try to chase losses, it is difficult to stop on your way unless you are already running out of balance. For me, it's easier to control myself and stop gambling after losing much than to stop after trying to recover what has been lost.

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.

How am I becoming addicted to gambling when I only gamble for relaxation and other factors you mentioned above? How about people that gamble everyday regardless of their gambling outcome? They gamble with anything they have because they can’t do without gambling that is why they are using anything they have to gamble, and most of them are physical gamblers that are addicted and will hardly go a day without gambling unless if they are ill.
Online gamblers don’t easily get addicted because they are mostly people that don’t have time to go to physical shops to get, or people that like their privacy. Any how the outcome of their gambling is, no one will know and they always control themselves with their plan just to avoiding losing money easily.

chasing after losses is the major reasons why most gamblers do become desperate and frustrated. Having the mindset that we can win back what we have lost while gambling is the reason why most people do chase after losses and they do fails to realise that winning in gambling is luck based, without luck chasing after losses won't make any difference but we will only end up to incur more losses.

Totally right, but most gamblers don’t know the importance of self-discipline, as most of them will only gamble with all their funds and might even go ahead and take a loan just for gambling.
Which is why, people should not always chase after their loss, as it will not yield any good to them instead it will lead them to become more addicted, which might ruin their lives in so many ways.
So, for the sake of their wellbeing, gamblers should ought to have that self- cautious to know when they can call it a quit or stop gambling, so that they will enjoy the importance of gambling, as it is designed to be for fun and entertainment.

Greed, or love of money, is one of the reasons why a person becomes addicted. People have different reasons, some just want more money, some want to change their lives, some are in need of money asap, and some just want to try their luck, which later becomes a habit. As long as you don’t have discipline, no matter what your reason or purpose for gambling is, you are bound to become addicted.

Another reason why some chase losses is not just because they hope to win back the money, but because most of them have only that choice. I mean, when they place a bet with money which is bigger than what they can risk, it's hard to let go of such an amount. If the bet has been lost, they will only be left with the option of either accepting they lost and moving on or trying to recover, which many of them always go with the second option.

Do you know that gamblinhg revenge is been what many people are doing to recover their loses but they don't know.
Gambling revenge is what we have been a victim of for several years and we are still a victim of it. It is cool to be conscious when betting and at the same time, you can lose guard and lose money when your predictions are not stable giving you the result you need.

Those who are addicted to gambling will never admit to gambling addiction, yes it is true that every person's brain takes care of their body. So never identify yourself as an addicted gambler by yourself, but we have to understand by looking at the gambling behavior of gamblers. We can definitely get the right sign from the gambling behavior, because those who gamble for money basically enter the win to recover the lost money, and those who gamble regularly and are addicted will never take a break. Yes, it is possible to get out of gambling addiction only by changing habits, and it is also possible to get out of gambling addiction by adopting strategies.

Like, I don’t know why they rarely admit it to themselves, you can’t really judge it by just words alone but by patterns of behavior. When they keep chasing losses in gambling mainly just to recover money, and can not take a proper break, that is normally clear warning sign.

Getting out of it is not that it is impossible though. It just start with recognizing and accepting those patterns, then intentionally start changing the habits and also set boundaries. I believe the mindset has to change first..

Most of the time on which we gamblers would be having that kind of revenge at the time that we do lose money. Who does want to lose money? Its part of our instinct that we will be that trying out to get on what we do lost but in doing gambling then this is the most dangerous thing that you do, because we do know that at the time that you will be thriving out to play to cope up your loses then you are just basically making yourself that losing up that even more. We do know that gamblers will be always the losers at the end and if you arent that careful and mindful towards your actions then you are just that basically putting up yourself into a life which is miserable.

Once addiction will shackled into you then it would be that so hard to get out and once you are addicted then you will be that dont care on how much money you would be spending and losing towards gambling because the main priority into your mind is on how you would be able to have a fun without busting up yourself and losing up on the money on which you cant afford to lose.

Use healthy habits to satisfy your urges.

Casinos and their addiction promise to be the solution to all our problems. We all need money; there's not a single person on the planet who wouldn't want it. So, casinos are ready to give money to anyone who's just a little luckier than the rest. At the same time, casinos are also a vibrant world where anyone can easily escape the harsh reality and immerse themselves in a world of hope and joy. All you need is a smartphone, and you can enjoy online casinos from anywhere in the world. It seems like a solution to all our problems. But in reality, it's a place where extreme caution is required.

Most people who lose a lot in gambling are looking to avenge their losses and at one point it can lead to addiction. But this continues to happen and is experienced by many people despite the fact that we are here to remind you to always gamble with the limits that have been planned and of course not to gamble with revenge.

For myself, it is not difficult to stop immediately when I have lost. I do not deny that I also feel the feeling which is the feeling of wanting to return the defeat. But I realized that it was not a good thing for me to do, so I suppressed that feeling and quit the game.

Many are on the stage where they are only focused on trying to recover all that they have lost to gambling, which is a very bad way to be gambling. It's better we just forget about what we lost in the past and focus on predicting new games which could give us possible good wins, and if we still don't get a positive result, we move on. Revenge gambling has led many into more wastage of money.

'Greed', that's the one of the main reason why people want to gamble because they think that they can turn their life completely into a successful one in terms of finance so they chose the luck over themselves.

People can justify that they do this for entertainment but in the deep they all do this for money which is okay as long as they know when to stop but some who don't have control will just keep going and ends up as an addict.

If you are serious about forgetting about your loses in gambling, you should have decided not to gamble again so that you don't have to think of making profit. Since gambling is continuous and many gamblers are only trying to make money even when they had severe loses betting, they still want to gamble more so that they will make money from there bets.

Maintaining self-discipline is the most important thing, I have seen that there are more and more people who, after losing, enter gambling again in an angry mood to recover their money. Basically, if you are too angry and cannot control yourself, then if you gamble, it will definitely be challenging for you. It is very difficult to get back what you lost, and when it comes to gambling, it is definitely not possible to get it back. If you lose, you have to control yourself first and stop in time, it is important not to get too angry, but to control yourself.

As long as you don’t have discipline, no matter what your reason or purpose for gambling is, you are bound to become addicted.

The quick phase and changing of lives of most people is what makes people addicted to gambling. Poverty and life hardship makes them shift into that idea and that sinks to their minds that it only takes one luck and big win for them to change forever.

But that doesn't come too easy and handy for everybody. With all of the big winners, it took them a lot of time and even money before they have won such amounts.

This is what those aspiring gamblers who have been aiming to get rich with it. They have miscalculation and too much expectation.

[Derekfunds]

For me the only reason for gambling addiction is greedy and being jobless, when you are very greedy you will always want to make huge amount from gambling and when you are winning little amount you will never see it as a good win and from that you will always put more pressure on yourself and that is how you become addicted to gambling.
And again when you are jobless and you are a gambler you can easily become addicted to gambling because you will see gambling as your escape root from being jobless and poor, this are the reasons I believe people become addicted to gambling and they always find it very difficult to stop it.
I know a man who is addicted to gambling and the reason for his addiction because they sacked him from his job and when he became jobless he started gambling and became addicted to it till date.

I can concur that greediness and unemployment are powerful causes of gambling addiction. As long as one is obsessed with big money, even a little game does not count anymore, and thus they continue putting larger stakes. Unemployment is another factor that makes people resort to gambling as a way of getting out of the poverty or unemployment. Nevertheless, these reasons are not sufficient to make people addicted to gambling. The reasons behind why most individuals cannot stop playing are also emotional stress, lack of self-control, and the design of gambling platforms.

No one has an excuse to be an addict because addiction will even do them more harm than the one they are already going through, saying poverty and unemployment are the reasons while some people become addict is very funny because gambling will not even give them the money they want because it is not guarantee so why spend the little one you have Instead of using it to do something meaningful and reasonable. Anyone who carry greedy mentality to gamble is really a joker and they are very close to their downfall.
