Is Gambling addiction a silent killer?

[Julien_Olynpic]

It's like a slowly growing tumor or some other malignant disease. But we mustn't forget that this silent killer is the person themselves. They condemn themselves to suffering and financial loss. And at the root of it all are ideas that are insane, yet hold a significant place in their worldview. One such idea, for example, is the desire to get rich through casinos. They believe it's possible and slowly spiral toward financial disaster.

That's where the mistake usually is, personally, believe that it's possible for me to get rich from gambling, but this believe ends in my end, I never try to gamble more than I know is above my capabilities, that is, I won't spend more money on a gambling when I know that losing that extra will get me into serious financial problems.

Gambling as we know is an activity that brings us the opportunity to make money through winning of games but then, we should also understand risk involved, know it well that there are never any guarantees of any kind aside loses, yeah, cus no matter how good you think you are, you must lose money, mindsets like this will helps us keep ourselves and Gambling habit in check all the time..

Perhaps addiction is not a silent killer for all gamblers, some express it or are revealed through their actions. An addicted person can never live a normal life, they have many symptoms such as they are not responsible for their family. Due to inattention, he can lose the job he was associated with.

Addiction creates a kind of crippled mentality under the influence of which the person suffers from inferiority complex and can get involved in any bad job to earn money.

One addiction creates many other bad addictions and gradually he starts getting physically disturbed.

Once it has gotten to a stage of addiction and it is obvious that we are addicted in gambling, then we should know that we are no more on the safe zone, because addiction is not something we can easily deal with, it takes extra effort and time, addiction is also one of the reason why some gamblers could not achieve anything over the years or because they have been gambling without being mindful of what they should observed doing and not doing as they are gambling.

When you are addicted to gambling you will not no know what to do with the money you are getting from gambling all your mindset go towards doubling your money, that is why we need to be extra careful with the way we gamble because it takes a longer time before you would be able to get out of addiction.

Honestly, some gamblers are just making things difficult by themselves because it makes no sense at all, gambling is just a way to have fun with the amount that you can easily afford to lose but I don't actually know why they want to win the game by force.

While developing as young gambler, one of the things that I have at the center of my consciousness is that, gambling addiction is a killer and at that I must avoid it by all means if it means quiting gambling completely if that becomes the only solution if I am caught up in addiction situations, 

Sometimes gamble is not the problem but we are, we are the issue in the sense that we over hype gamble, most of us take it as a source of income instead of doing it for the normal purpose which is for entertainment and fun.  However someone can not just wake up overnight and get addicted to gamble , definitely something might have lead to it and what's it, greed.  Greed is the soul founder of addiction, when you are never satisfied with the little you have secured properly you want more and by doing that you start chasing lost little by little, you start up increasing your stake just to hit it at once until you end up arrive where you can no longer come back.

However, at some point I end up finalizing that we are the major problem to ourselves because when we try meeting up our expectations in life by becoming extremely rich through gamble, if things didn't work out as planned due to greed and so on we literally end up giving false narrative about gamble , making it look as if it is actually a killer but possibly we are the killers of our self and not gamble.

Gambling addiction may well be as silent murderer not in a flash but by slowing destroying some ones finances. feelings, and mind. I also concur that the cause is typically internalized and more so in the assumption that it can always pay to gamble or become rich. The thought can gradually drive one into greater losses and disappointment. But it is extremely important to control yourself and know your limits. as you said. The most practical way of remaining in control is to come to terms with the fact that losses are inevitable and never risk losing more than one can afford.

I agree that gambling addiction is a winged killer, at first everything feels fine, even though they are actually already experiencing financial problems but often they do not realize it and usually they will start to feel depressed when they are already in debt, yes this is where it all starts, debts pile up, family finances decline, relationships with family begin to crack, people around them begin to distance themselves, and feelings of stress begin to gnaw at their minds because of significant pressure, the worst is when their minds cannot support all these problems which in the end they often take crazy decisions such as stealing and committing suicide, this is the worst and this is the reason why we are always advised to gamble with full limits.

A gambler who does not realize the importance of managing finances from the beginning can certainly end up badly. To set limits, a gambler must be able to manage their finances. That way, they will know the amount they can bet. It's not just about setting aside part of their salary for gambling, because gamblers can bet larger amounts until they actually find they have no savings left. We can see criminal actions committed by gambling addicts. The impact is not only on themselves, but it can also involve other people as well.

Of course, and this is why someone must first understand what and how the activity they are engaging in actually works. The key is to understand the negative side first, not just the positive side. Unfortunately, gamblers often overlook this. I believe this happens because the goal of winning, which is money, is so focused on this aspect that they ignore the negative side.
Everyone knows that gambling is risky, but they can't help but be tempted by the prospect of winning.

The danger for a player begins when they begin to believe their strategy is working and that they can make money by betting more. When a player allows themselves to gamble with large sums of money, the risks increase, and any loss will be very significant, with even a small losing streak capable of causing significant problems for their bankroll. And if after this, they still believe they can win back their losses, then addiction begins.

I totally agreed with you, due to the kind of mindset they have towards gambling has done more of harm than good in their lives, and yet, some of them doesn't want to learn from their errors, which they believed that they will surely get rich through gambling and this has given the that misconceptions to see gambling in a view that just matters to them but that will also slowly kill them and before they will realize their mistakes, its already late. That is why people are to prevent it as early as possible

The bottom line is that it all depends on the gamblers themselves because they cannot avoid addiction. If only their self-control was good enough then conditions like addiction could be minimized.  because of their greed to keep trying to win or the desire to improve their own living conditions by gambling, they feel the impact of gambling for real.

It's just that sometimes when this has happened, there are still many gamblers who think that gambling is what ruined them, but they don't realize that it's just a distraction to make them feel innocent.  In fact  the condition of addiction and the impact caused by gambling is actually not entirely the fault of “gambling” because gambling is just an object and we have the choice not to become addicts if we are able to control ourselves properly and think rationally.

I agree with you that the gambler is the silent killer himself because he wants to become rich overnight through gambling which is almost impossible. Addiction is a gradual thing due to consistent practice and your mindset. We blame gambling all the time but the gambler is the cause of his own problems.

[Yorubek]

I believe that gambling can kill a person silently. Gambling addiction can take a very terrible form in a person's life. Gambling addiction can easily destroy everything we have arranged in an instant. Gambling addiction destroys not only the gambler but also a beautifully arranged family. Very few people who have fallen prey to gambling addiction have been able to completely free themselves from the addiction. It is very important to be aware while gambling, as a result we can save our lives from terrible destruction. Gambling is only good for entertainment, choosing gambling to earn money is very risky.

Yes I completely agree with you. There are many who can control themselves and there are many who can control themselves. Most of the people cannot control themselves. I have seen that every person cannot control themselves, and many times they have won a lot of money to win but they become greedy and start playing and they lose all their money. They think that now I am winning now I will win every bet. Because of this wrong decision of theirs they face losses.

Almost all of us gamble to win and to earn money in an easy way. But among them there are some people who can control themselves and know how much money we need to gamble. Those who are aware of these things may be able to control themselves and the rest cannot control themselves.

Yes, gambling addiction is widely considered a silent killer because it slowly takes its toll on your mental and financial health. Any addiction carries a risk of suicide with studies showing that one in two gamblers contemplates suicide. Because they want to be rich which is why they sell their assets and gamble and many people in my country are taking loans from different banks to gamble. Very few people's fortunes change from gambling but those who do change do not stop. Again, the one who loses while gambling also gambles again to get his money back. Roughly speaking gamblers are slowly damaging their own bodies and wealth so they are considered silent killers.

Actually, gambling itself may not be a silent killer, the real problem begins when people lose control. At first many people come to play for fun or small profits but gradually it gets to a point where they can’t stop. When they lose they play again to recover and when they win, they think they will win more this cycle slowly kills people. So in my opinion the mental state where people run after hope without looking at reality is more dangerous than gambling.

Can this be classified as a sign of pathologic desire? Otherwise, is this the dream of every gambling addict? If so, we would have seen gamblers recovering from addiction after a big win. Or we wouldn't see rich people become addicted to gambling behavior.

I think it is not mostly the desire to get rich through gambling, but a behavioral addiction to reach the sensation that you are lucky and your prediction are always right. This is determined by the types of personalities falling into addiction. Most of them are arrogant poor-minded people whom doing nothing productive in real life.

[Lida93]

Yes. Gambling addiction is a silent killer that can destroy life's of it victims as it can be so unbearable for them in the attitudes and actions they take when the urge comes to gamble it all. After all is done there comes regret that is just momentarily because they still get back to repeat same problematic gambling behaviour, and this can ignite the thoughts of suicide as only way to free oneself from the cuffs of gambling addiction. That's what makes me to always tell gamblers to never stop talking to someone about what challenges they're getting with handling their gambling lifestyle.

[dwyane36]

Very few people who have fallen prey to gambling addiction have been able to completely free themselves from the addiction.

I’m not sure if there are reliable stats on the percentage of gamblers who have successfully overcome their addiction, but in general, the number is quite low. If a gambler is overly emotional and unable to control themselves, it becomes very difficult not only to overcome the addiction but even to recognize and admit that they have one.

Sticking to the right way of gambling, support one in acknowledging the right thing to do, which will keep one's mind to be ready for any outcomes at all time, which will make them to also understand that gambling is meant to be for entertainment and not an easy way to make money and a means to evade poverty. This way, they will find it easy to stick and stay to the rules of gambling, which will helps to prevent them from being addicted.

Being in denial is the worst thing that any gambling addict would put himself in because they would not be able to recover from their addiction. Admitting first of all and recognizing the fact that you are addicted is the first step to start making a change. You are right about the percentage of those that recover from gambling addiction, it is a small amount because most addicted gamblers think that it is impossible to recover from gambling addiction, this mindset doesn't make them put in effort
