Few tips to avoid gambling addiction, add yours.

[Rabata]

First, I will say don't gamble because you saw other people cashing out major from it, always make your own decisions yourself.  And again don't make gambling your first priority, let it be want you do when their no other important things at hands.  Furthermore, avoiding gambling for profit or making it a stream of income because through that you can be addicted or something even start gambling with what you can't afford to lose which could be very problematic if you ask me.

All the tips mentioned should be followed by a gambler, but the problem is that most of the gamblers do not understand those tips well when they have money but when their money is over and there is no other way, they try to follow these tips. The gambler must have self-control. If there is no self-control, then the gambler's losses will increase. Excessive losses are one of the reasons for gambling addiction. Gambling is not a bad thing for those who bet small and lose small amounts, but those whose losses increase and they try to recover their lost money through gambling are the ones who become addicted. The gambler must remember that those who were gamblers in the past should know how much they have changed through gambling. Gambling is not a scheme to get rich.

A lot of things leads to lots of expectations when it comes to gambling and one of them is overconfidence, a lot of gamblers feel like they have a strategy they can use to always win constantly probably because they have been able to make profit from it. They tend to forget that winning most times is simply based on luck and not what they think they know about the game, being too confident is a problem.

Overconfidence has been one thing that misleads gamblers a lot; that overexpectation can really destroy a gambler. How can you put too much hope on something you regard as a safe strategy when you have not tested it over and over again to see if it remains and stands?

Even when strategy and skill can give you a win, it still fails when you least expect it. Better to treat gambling as it should than for one to put too much hope on it and still get disappointed.

It is only when a gambler didn't see gambling as a game of luck that is when they will allow over confidence to take over there judgement while gambling. Any gambler that see gambling as a game of luck won't expect too much or have over confidence while they are gambling because they will understand in gambling is either they win or they lose. With this in mind there won't be any form of overconfidence in them. But , this isn't same for gamblers that think that winning depends on strategies and experiences.

You shared very important points especially about setting a budget and avoiding chasing losses because chasing losses leads to addiction. I would also add some tips from my side which people does not noticed . The first one is and also the biggest signs of responsible gambling is being able to walk away i means when to stop whether you are winning or losing. Many people think only losses are dangerous  but i believe sometimes a winning streak creates overconfidence and force people to keep playing until they eventually give everything back. Another point is to take regular breaks instead of gambling for long sessions because the longer someone plays  the more likely they are to make emotional decisions.

Stay away from gambling if you don't have a income, nowadays a lot of persons go into gambling when they don't have a true source of income which now leads to addiction because the money they used to gamble in other to recover was lost and so they keep on trying to recover their loss but ends up sinking dip into gambling and they end up selling their properties and borrowing without paying back.

This is a big problem, gambling is mainly a place of entertainment, but here those people who do not have a good source of income are getting addicted to it more and more, they are using gambling as a source of income. First of all, they go there with positive thoughts, but when they lose, they are not able to control themselves and to recover their losses, they gamble with more and more money. The more they lose, the more panic they get, although at that time they should have given up gambling. But those who are financially well-off are just enjoying gambling by spending some money. They are not addicted. Those who are addicted are those who are financially weak and they are not able to get themselves out of that addiction.

You can wreck your financial situation by gambling even if you have a source of income, so it wouldn't you protect it either if you can't manage the budget. Key point is that how much can you AFFORD to gamble, and how high it's in your priorities and why.

Reasons vary, but let's say you are gambling because every now and then you can win, and it's occasional income you are after. If you don't have income, your affordable budget to gamble isn't enough to bring you too much of that occasional income unless you are VERY lucky. If you also just enjoy it as a past time, it creates another layer for the reason you are gambling in the first place. And that reason might weight more then occasional winning.

One important thing everyone must know before gambling was not listed on the things you mentioned and that is that before anyone should gamble, they should first get a reliable source of income. Many people think that gambling is an easy way to wealth so they go all out thinking that they are chasing their destiny. This idea mislead them and they suffer painful losses. Gambling is not supposed to be treated as a source of income because there is no guarantee of winning in gambling.

Stay away from gambling if you don't have a income, nowadays a lot of persons go into gambling when they don't have a true source of income which now leads to addiction because the money they used to gamble in other to recover was lost and so they keep on trying to recover their loss but ends up sinking dip into gambling and they end up selling their properties and borrowing without paying back.

That's the major problem most gamblers are battling with in their lives, they approach gambling with the mindset to win or double the little they have with no hope to get another one is that they lose that one in gambling and there is no how that they won't chase after their losses if they eventually lose, which they will certainly become an addict as it will make them to be under much pressure. That is why, if one doesn't have money to gamble, they should relax and be calm or better still go for what will distract their mindset from gambling.

I agree with you, never gamble when you have no income or when you are unemployed, because one win can ruin your life, what I mean is usually when someone is having financial problems and then they are given a win from gambling then they will continue to play in the hope of being able to make money like before, but the game will not always be on their side and even losses are much more frequent and you are right that in most cases they usually end up selling all their possessions and getting into debt.

A gambler is meant to set time for gambling because it will be so unprofessional/ irresponsible for a gambler to keep gambling without time, of course those gamblers that does not have time to gamble easily become addicted to gamble. So yeah it's very important to set gambling time. Even the bible make us to understand that there's time for everything, so if you can't figure out time that you're supposed to gamble and when you're not supposed to gamble it can lead you into making a mistake or Lossing some life changing opportunities.

The first point you made is actually very important and a lot of people don't really take it seriously, it is very important to set limits so you don't end up gambling too much and exceeding the limits that you have set for yourself. Avoid gambling when you know that you are not in the right state of mind, emotions is a driving force for good or bad, in the aspect of gambling you should be able to put yourself under control cause you know what might happen if you don't.

Stay away from gambling if you don't have a income, nowadays a lot of persons go into gambling when they don't have a true source of income which now leads to addiction because the money they used to gamble in other to recover was lost and so they keep on trying to recover their loss but ends up sinking dip into gambling and they end up selling their properties and borrowing without paying back.

In fact, the most primary problem that is currently facing our young generation is that if they do not have an income, they always look for easy ways to get rich easily. And in this case, they often gamble even though they borrow pocket money from their parents and at the same time from others. They consider gambling as their profession or a method of quick rich scheme.

And I think that the biggest mistake in their case is that there are people who earn money but are not satisfied with their income, so they start gambling as soon as they get their salary and it turns out that they spend a lot of time gambling. To prevent all this, I think we need to understand the main concept of gambling, which is that it is only a means of entertainment. We all need to understand that.

It is only when a gambler didn't see gambling as a game of luck that is when they will allow over confidence to take over there judgement while gambling. Any gambler that see gambling as a game of luck won't expect too much or have over confidence while they are gambling because they will understand in gambling is either they win or they lose. With this in mind there won't be any form of overconfidence in them. But , this isn't same for gamblers that think that winning depends on strategies and experiences.

I always try to think gambling is a game of luck but it does not mean I do not expect much because I still always hope to win but it does not mean here I am not ready with the defeat that I will definitely accept.

I think it doesn't matter if we try or hope for victory but what should be measured is how we manage our emotions when we feel defeated.  We know the loss ratio will still be greater, especially in slot and original games and when we lose then we must try and not make this as an ambition to make a comeback in the next gambling.

Many gamblers always lose control here even though they know that this is a game of luck but when they cannot maintain rationality when losing then it is likely that they will repeat again and again because they are not ready with the defeat they feel.

Avoid gambling when you know that you are not in the right state of mind, emotions is a driving force for good or bad, in the aspect of gambling you should be able to put yourself under control cause you know what might happen if you don't.

Let me tell you the reality, the person who is getting addicted will think that they are still under control until it isn't because gambling is something that happens without self realization and they will realize that they are deeply addicted to it when they try to stop it after the bad outcome due to it but they can't they will become restless and agitate for no reason and they will find peace when they do it but for the moment that they bet then the reamining time it will be the same, feeling worse actually.

That’s true some gamblers usually go beyond their budget . In the name of chasing losses and not knowing when to stop as a gambler you should set a budget to work with in order to avoid going beyond your budgets going beyond won’t guarantee that you win anything .

You can keep going and you will keep losing that’s why you have to work with budget and minimize the risks by preventing over gambling and using beyond budgets .

Being unable to notice they addiction is part of the addition itself, gamblers who re addicted mat times have the feeling that they are over doing things, but can not help but to keep the past on because of the addictions drive in them, this is why we often warn people that we noticed are over doing things when it comes to gambling since is easier to overcome addiction when you haven't get addicted at all much more than trying to get out of the addiction.

This part that's bold is another thing many gamblers are still missing out, they usually think that gamble is a quick way of getting rich overnight which is not, it'll only gets you frustrated overtime.

The fastest means to avoid problem gambling is through consistent monitoring of one's attitude or behavior while in a gaming session, moods swing in a mini second, and could effect how the player thinks in the next 20 minutes, with minds shattered, slot players, for example, end up tapping buttons without bearing in mind the usefulness of managing their bankroll.
