Enough of the advice already

[lombok]

The advice will be useful for those who are thinking, meaning that their brains are still working well in judging whether something is good or bad, but if emotions have taken over then there will be nothing that can change a person from his addiction because his brain is working well, except for harsh measures to make the person aware, it is still quite possible to make a person realize that he has made a mistake and is emotionally immersed in gambling.
Advice is very useful for me because I am the result of the advice that made me recover from addiction, but if my brain was not working properly then I might still be in addiction today.

It is amazing to understand that external influence can enable one to be placed on track again. To recover, one should be open minded to the advice. This trip proves that you can still get out of great emotional distress through rational consciousness. This first hand experience is a testimony of how important it is to consider common sense.

I discovered that advice is only one piece of the puzzle. There are many more things that helps or improves success in any gambling venture. It's not like the advices doesn't work. It's just that they're other important things. Another problem is that even though most people know of the the techniques in advices they received, only few actually implements it with their strategy most people don't even do risk management at any level.

I like the word you used here, mate, just like I early said which you have made it clearer enough, advice is not going to solve 100% of the gambling problems that people face but it contributes greatly to the success of change. Most of the time, a player can only self reflect on their bad gambling habits only when they were adviced or criticized by someone who knows that they are approaching gambling in a wrong way.

[memehunter]

I noticed everyone gives the same advice, including me. I am not exempted. Risk what you can afford to lose, apply proper money management, set aside funds to gamble, patience and so on. But if gambling could actually be controlled by advice alone, why do casinos still make billions?

You forgot to mention the very first advise (which is the fundamental one) 'dont gamble' lol. This advise seems to work perfectly if implemented properly haha.
Jokes aside, these all are advises to people who take gabling as a form of entertainment not for addicts. Just like we have advises for occasional  drinkers, we have the same for gamblers.
This is specially true for gambling which has negative EV. Skill based games have totally different story but basic responsible gambling advises are still relevant in that case too.

Asking and receiving advice is free- it's completely up to you if you would follow and listen what others have personally experienced during their whole gambling activities.

Again, you're free to ignore if you think that it's being repetitive at this point. However, I beg to disagree given that gambling addiction is one of the worst and widespread addiction that can be both present to the young and older generation. It can destroy lives in an instant especially if you fail to take action during its early stages.

At the end of the day, if there's something that I want to be abundance of, it's about advice given by trusted and genuine members of this forum because it will benefit not just us but also to visitors who are currently battling addiction as of the moment.

[danadc]

If you're annoyed by good advice, it's because you really need to have total control of your emotions and money. Here in the forum, there are people who struggle to keep up and manage money they're willing to lose. There are many strategies to distract your mind and avoid losing money, but if the idea of ​​only spending what you're willing to lose isn't repeated here, then addiction would be the biggest problem.

In theory, advice is correct. But reality shows you a different part. No amount of advice can change someone who is already addicted to gambling. In losing streak, advice goes out the door and emotions take over.

Physical location casinos can't even make you apply any advice. Free drinks, shining light, the hot seat and so on. You will forget you wrote down a paragraph of advice to do gambling properly. Online casinos are even worse. Constant advert of it passing through your phone or computer screen, auto play feature to actually get you hooked.

If advice doesn't really work at all, what then truly works? Complete avoidance? Or strict deposit limit? Or something else entirely, I will love to know. To be honest, has gambling advice ever worked for any of you? I would love be to hear your thoughts.

Is not about advice, it is very easy to advise someone, but the ability of the person to put your advice into account is the main problem. My people used to say "You can force a horse to the river but you cannot force him to drink water", but the truth is that a word is enough for the wise. As a sensible person you will always protect yourself from something that will hurt or harm you, unless you don't consider yourself or value your well-being. Any gambler that knows what he is doing, he will do the right thing without waiting until other people advise him.

People can even ask for your advice and when you did advice, they will continue to do what their minds tell them to do and I will ask muse, if they already know that they will later do what their minds asks them to do, then what's the point of asking one to give them advice when they won't adhere to it, although everyone got to do what they pleases and they also get to choose who they listen to, but when its about gambling, they do believe that their thoughts are the best and this keeps to damage their lives the more. So for me, I do help and advice those who truly wants it.

Gamblers sometimes only engage in gambling discussion and advice because it is an interesting topic they have an idea but I will tell you for free that most people that gives advice here don't do what they practice in real life when it come to gambling, they lose that thing they tell people and work on what their emotion tells them. Sometimes, the people that gives advice when a gambler lose money, they tend to be the people that lose the most, so when you see random people giving you advice to do this and do that, just read and pass, if you see something that you think it worth learning grab it and if there is none, just move on with your strategy.

I'm not worried that we have much advertisement about gambling, we should be worry about the gamblers that don't see their eyes without trying it out. If you are not gambling, don't engage in gambling and if you are gambling, make sure you are gambling with your head and don't put more than you can afford to lose. The casino that will do there adverts will do and it's there right to reach the customers they want.

This is the greatest advice that one can deep to their hearts, at all time and in anywhere, because if they don't bet of play, they can't be addicted and there won't be any problems for them to face any longer, as everything will be less pressured and they won't  have to stress their brains again. But, there are some people that will still think that if they don't gamble their lives won't be completed and people like this basically needs a lot of help.

[Stable090]

Only fews gamblers that are ready to have control on themselves collect advice about how the gambling dangerous, because most of the gamblers will be thinking that may be their try to deceive them so that they won’t get what others achieve from gambling

The issue is that most of those gamblers just see gambling as a place where they can make money, they believe they going to win big one day, and they going to buy luxury cars, and build luxury houses, but they don’t know that things don’t work like that. If winning big is easy when gambling, then everyone will have been rich by now, but you might be gambling everyday, and if you are not going to be lucky, you just going to keep on losing your money.

Addicted gamblers do always encourage each other not to stop gambling, they always motivate each other that if they don’t stop, they going to hit a jackpot, but if you are a gambler, and you notice frequent loss when gambling, it’s better you just stop gambling at that moment, check out where you getting things wrong, and come back another time.

Haha. Thanks for kind words. Btw, I'm as guilty as everyone when it comes to this advices. It's easier said than followed . Most people that even give out advices sometimes don't follow it. It's either it's not followed or it's actually difficult to implement. But I still maintain that advices have their benefits but then, there are other important things that needs to be in place to ensure success. You've to be good at looking at data and stats and coming up with best decisions. That's one of the other important things.

[Bitcoin.com97]

I feel advice is free , so it’s left for you to make the final decision, one thing for sure is that is easy said than done , people can easily give out advice or say a lot of things , there is actually freedom of speech, but the real thing it’s you are either taking a bold step  by  abstaining from it, but it’s not actually easy .

One thing about gambling once you have started especially you have won in one or two occasions , trust me it won’t be that easy to avoid the site , both online and physically, especially online , I know how many times I told myself I’m not going to gamble again , but often times I find myself moving around trying out my luck after some breaks, but in all I feel it just about self discipline.

Knowing that first wins are only a trap is a significant step to high level of awareness of all gambler. Complete dedication is needed to cut off access to gambling sites. Temptation can be resisted best by relying on the power of self control. When one is bold enough to take some tangible action, day by day, to successfully leave the self destructive ways, that is when significant change begins.

That is the reason I said earlier that is easy said than done , what you have said now is right but it’s not really that easy , humans are wired differently, some persons can just win once and stop gambling, while for some they gamble once they win , that moment they began to Chase more winning, so it’s really not easy for people to stop gambling, but it’s just to apply self discipline, know when to stop and not go above your budget, because many plays anytime , any day with what they have without thinking twice towards their decision and at the end make so much mistakes.

I don't think so. Gambling can't be controlled with advice, but it does work for some people who are fearful and not stubborn. If a gambler is receptive to advice, they'll listen maybe not 100%, but at least listen a little, so they can slowly follow our advice. Although some stubborn people have to experience great losses first because they don't believe this advice.

No doubt most persons words of advice falls on a deaf ear.Don’t ever think your advice has the capacity to change a person or change their perception on how they view things.What I believe is that change begin from within a person,if you haven’t thought of changing your bad habits there might be no advice you would hear that would make you to feel sad and think of changing.Most persons are battling with one challenge or the other,after receiving some words of advice from a friend or loved one they might end up finding themselves doing what they were advised on,that’s to tell you that changes begin within a person’s personal decisions.Nevertheless,not slll individuals neglect advice.

It is amazing to understand that external influence can enable one to be placed on track again. To recover, one should be open minded to the advice. This trip proves that you can still get out of great emotional distress through rational consciousness. This first hand experience is a testimony of how important it is to consider common sense.

The first is to be open-minded and be ready to accept advice from others before the advice gets into you. There is a lot of professional help from those who can help addicted gamblers, but only a few of them can effectively reflect it in their lives because they allow it to get to them by accepting it.

[Kavelj22]

Few gamblers who can control themselves consult experts about the risks of gambling, as most believe such advice might be misleading and designed to prevent them from achieving what others do, this is what they tell yo their doctors.

They are not aware that gambling is not a stable source of income and cannot be. Therefore, some who take gambling personally, even considering it their livelihood, imagine that its losses outweigh its gains, yet they refuse to listen to those who try to guide them to the right path as i can evaluate it.

Good point, by accepting means that you are willing to use the advise for the betterment of your life, you need to embrace changes as without it, the advise will just be taking for granted, like you mentioned, those who accept and listen they are those who managed to move away from addiciton and completely illiminate the lust and desire to keep playing, it's always a person's acceptance that matters no matter how good the advise without taking any actions then there's nothing that will be change.

Yes in my opinion, it is none other than that because there are still many people who do gambling, now even though all people can gamble wisely from all aspects but with the number of people who gamble this is not small so it is not strange that casinos still make a lot of money.

Appreciate an advice, because it is natural for us to remind each other as intelligent living beings.

In theory, advice is correct. But reality shows you a different part. No amount of advice can change someone who is already addicted to gambling. In losing streak, advice goes out the door and emotions take over.

Risk management advice is very easy to say, but very difficult or often fails in practice. When emotions take over a gambler's mind, especially after a losing streak, rational logic is replaced by the desire to chase losses. Most gamblers have been in that position, so it's no wonder why casinos continue to operate and make billions. When playing and in a losing position, gamblers often lose emotional control due to frustration. In this situation, previously established disciplinary rules such as daily loss limits will be ignored in order to turn things around instantly.

The thrill or hope of winning often overrides the logic of risk management, thus encouraging gamblers to continue betting even though the mathematical odds are not in their favor. Controlling gambling habits is a very challenging thing, the best step a gambler can take is to realize that the casino winning ratio is much greater than the player's. If you want to play just for fun, the key is to set strict limits and be disciplined.

I have mentioned this a lot in my previous posts. Yes everyone knows these tips but only a few have the responsibility and patience to apply these tips practically. Most people including myself, know these tips well, but it is difficult to adhere to them.

I honestly don't know what works here, but perhaps when the gambler reaches an internal personal conviction that gambling is a loss and that he should avoid it or limit it to the greatest extent possible, then perhaps he will be able to reach the point where he can control himself.
