How do you Detect for Abnormal Gambling Behavior

[Charcol]

Abnormal gambling behavior is often caused by not setting a budget. It is necessary to set a small budget every week or month. If you can stay within that small budget, then it is normal gambling behavior. But when it is not controlled within your budget, then it is abnormal behavior. Also, if you spend most of your day gambling, that is also abnormal behavior. Always playing at a specific time and within a specific budget can be called normal gambling behavior.

[Yorubek]

The first indication you get as an impression about a gambler going abnormal with his gambling behavior is the moment a place a bet and loses but feel more confused and depressed because of the loss being made, some are taking bet they cannot afford to lose, gambling is not what we should see as a one-way direction, because we are having fun in playing it and not to always win, but count every situation that comes around as part of the fun we are having.

It is true that there are many ways to understand whether a gambler is truly gambling with discipline, but the best way to understand it is by the gambler's financial losses. When a gambler gambles aggressively after losing money, it is quite clear that the gambler is not truly gambling with discipline. And when a gambler takes the time to control his greed or emotions after losing money and can keep a cool head and gamble with discipline, it is mainly through the activities of the gambler that it is best to understand whether the gambler is gambling with discipline. When a gambler loses money and starts gambling aggressively to get back the money he lost, the gambler loses self-control and faces serious losses.

When a gambler gambles, he himself does not understand what is normal and what is abnormal, especially when he moves towards gambling addiction. However, anyone other than that person will clearly understand from his behavior that the other person's behavior is not normal. For example, another person continues to gamble abnormally, that is, he does not give priority to these things, that is, he is making a profit or losing, but he is gambling anyway and after each loss he becomes more aggressive. Similarly, when a gambler does not consider it right to take a break, it should also be understood that this is an abnormal behavior of the gambler. Again, when a gambler has a limit on the use of money for gambling, but when he does not comply with that limit, he will gamble as long as he has money, and when he reaches a stage and borrows money to gamble, this is also abnormal behavior for a gambler.

Setting budgeting helps one to stay disciplined to avoid displaying abnormal behaviour in gambling Because there will no good result in it and before they can show working or stay disciplined, they have to be determined to stand on their decision, this way  can help them to really stay strong and not out of character and it also help them to protect their peace of mind and also their bankroll, as they won't be affected financially. So it will be good and normal for one to treat gambling as entertainment without having to touch their food or rent money.

[Bluedrem]

When you see your normal behavior changing automatically and you can no longer control yourself, then you should understand that you are becoming addicted. Also, the mood of the addicted person is always chaotic and he does not have a good relationship with his family members. Besides, if the person becomes addicted to gambling, he gets involved in various types of misdeeds to earn money from gambling. They do not hesitate to commit murder to earn money from gambling.
In fact, people addicted to gambling start behaving abnormally, which you can understand only by seeing their external changes.

Budgeting that yields no return in days, challenge softly aware players to exceed their initial plan on financial control. Discipline stems from the heart, and nothing switches it faster than unexpected gaming losses. Players who suffer abnormal gaming behavior lacked the right orientation at the start of their gaming journey, and lived through it for a longer duration. The best step to go beyond a huge threat of losing so much, is having a solid orientation, at the very beginning, of how it works before entering the into game.

If you are going to make it more practical, you can use a case scenario or ourself as an example in explaining how we were able to detect for an abnormal gambling situation and what really transpired or happen later, this will make us to have maximum sensitivity to how we are gambling so as to put a check on our behavior as well in it on an occasional basis in order to improve on areas we have already been liking behind that could lead to abnormal behaviors.

Abnormal gambling behavior is just a noticable thing, or will I say abnormal behavior in Gambling is observed when we are no longer following our strategy. Every Gambler has budget and strategy to follow and when the gambler is been carried away by greed, thereby making him to gamble aggressively and making him lose more than he expected, then it is obviously an abnormal behavior. Another abnormal behavior of gambling is when you notice that you are using your Mobile phone or any thing that belongs to you to gamble when you have never done that before, it's a sign of abnormal behavior in Gambling.

The main thing is that to keep yourself safe in gambling, you must be careful about your finances. If you do not have a financial budget, then due to excessive greed or the desire to cover your losses, the amount of your game may exceed your financial capacity, which will naturally cause you a big loss. So here you must be careful about your finances, you must specify the time of playing and keep financial limits, without these you cannot be safe in gambling, because greed can lead you to a very big loss at any moment.

It all depends on their goals and responsibilities. Any impulsive gambling behavior always has a rationale, and the most plausible one is the pursuit of winning. However, the opposite happens, and emotions escalate, leading to aggressive decisions.
Your suggestion about setting a budget is sound, but it won't work if the gambler's goal is to win. Most of the time, their only concern is gambling to double their money, even though the outcome is uncertain.

Exactly. Most of the times, the real problem isn’t always in the action or strategy itself but rather in the mindset and the goal. For someone who’s mindset about gambling is nothing more than just an avenue for entertainment, their goals would most likely align with that mindset and so would the approach and the strategy automatically, you’ll see that such a fellow can easily prevent himself from chasing losses or wins, regardless of whatever pressure the game’s outcome might carry.

[libert19]

I haven't really bothered with anybody else, but I have experienced with myself, and I have gotten few pointers for you all.

1) If you see yourself chasing losses, you are digging your own grave. Kindly don't. 2) If you think gambling is gonna pay your bills... you are gonna fall face first. 3) If you think there is thing like guaranteed winning bet... that's wrong cause that's literally against what gambling stands for.

You are welcome.

I have seen people who steal from their parents, so yeah, if someone is a Gabler, you will see the change on their moves, even on their talk, it's like any other addiction. Chatting with them is like chatting with a drug addict, and not some weed smoker neither, I mean the ones that takes it up a pep, like the white one.

So yeah, you are going to be facing someone who talks ab it faster, and a bit quicker, and a bit like they are on a urgency, because their brain is like "yeah yeah fine lets say this sentence and then spend rest of our brain power to think about gambling again", just like addiction. They talk fast, because their brain wants to think about only one thing, and by talking with them, you are forcing them to think about something to say to you in response, so their brain uses a small time, urgently say something, not well thought out, not slow, quickly just spurt anything and then go back to thinking about gambling yet again.

[MrEazyLife]

I don't buys into this your story because their is no way a single person can be addicted to drug and gambling at the same time, he might gamble or do drug as an individual, but being addicted to both is what I disagree on because harbit replaces harbit, so he can't be addicted to both deadly addiction at the same time.

I totally disagree with you on what you just said regarding the fact that it's not possible for an individual to be both addicted to drugs and gambling at the same time. Because if you haven't seen such a scenario in your entire life, it doesn't mean it don't happen in our different vicinities. And one thing you need to know is the fact that all forms of addictions always have one thing in common, which is lack of self control, and if a person is likely to have self control over a particular, then their is likely a chance that same individual will have an issue struggling over self control on another like drugs or sex addiction. So in a nutshell, it's very possible for an individual to be addicted to drugs, gambling and sex at the same time.

Coming across this reply, I’m just surprise that one hasn’t even seen a person who’s both addicted to drugs and gambling. Yes over here it’s very common to see a young man at his early 20s being a drug addicted and is also addicted to gambling. Not that alone, also womanize. It’s just so sad that this young generation is graduating turning in to something else

Let's make it what everyone of us will benefit, in this discussion by being realistic about it, just as the title says, the aim of creating this thread is to help us discuss on some possible means we can use to easily dictect for an abnormal gambling behavior in us or from others around us, this might be an eye opener to some that are already getting it wrong or try to adjust from one thing to the other in gambling.

If you are going to make it more practical, you can use a case scenario or ourself as an example in explaining how we were able to detect for an abnormal gambling situation and what really transpired or happen later, this will make us to have maximum sensitivity to how we are gambling so as to put a check on our behavior as well in it on an occasional basis in order to improve on areas we have already been liking behind that could lead to abnormal behaviors.

Abnormal activity is when you do an activity that is harmful to you but you do not accept it. For example, suppose you are gambling with a certain budget but after losing them you cannot control yourself and you deposit again. It may also be that you are gambling with a plan that you do not put more than 1% to a maximum of 5% of the budget you have put in each bet, but after winning or after losing several times in a row you forget your limitations and place big bets. When you notice these things in yourself, it will be abnormal gambling. Which can make you very addicted to gambling.

[tabas]

The first rule is about gambling with your own money. You are not content when you're not able to gamble and knowing that you have no money left, this makes you want to do stuff that you are not used to. Like borrowing money just for you to gamble and also selling important things that you've worked hard for. That's an abnormal gambling behavior there that many are unaware that they're doing the wrong thing.

You are right, there are many things that makes one to act an abnormal behaviour in gambling? When the game is not instructed that one should gamble with money that doesn't belong to them, instead of one going as far as taking loan just for gambling, shows how foolish the person can be,  because it shows no responsibility at all, as they will put themselves into more troubles, from addiction to more debts and the only way to redeem themselves its by doing the necessary things with determination, things will change and return back for good.

And they think that it's just a fine thing to do. So, they won't stop until they put themselves into a bigger trouble. They'll only realize it quite late when they've got a lot of debt, looking at the interest rate while them having nothing but losses. Responsible gamblers have to accept the losses and they shouldn't gamble with the money that they're not yet theirs. That mistake is repeatedly done by many gamblers and copied by the others too. Because they think that it's a common thing or a norm that's done by the entire gambling community. Yes, it's done but not recommend and only done by irresponsible gamblers.

If I have a friend who gamble and they suddenly start borrowing money from me, I might suspect that something has happened. They may have developed a abnormal behavior and now need money because they have run out of their own, if they don't usually borrow money from others, this change in behavior could be a warning sign.

Abnormal or sudden changes in behavior can occur when an addiction begins to take control of a person's actions, causing them to do things they normally wouldn't do. For example, if someone has been getting much less sleep lately it could be a sign that they are spending long hours gambling. However, less sleep alone isn't enough to conclude that they are addicted to gambling since there are many other possible explanations.

I disagree with you mate, setting a budget for gambling is a bad behavior too, no one should reach a stage in gambling where you have to set a budget monthly or weekly for gambling, it's addicted gamblers attitude. Is Only gambling addicts that set such budget. 

I'm of the support that you should only gamble with a spare cash, and to to budget your hard earn money for gambling that's not guaranteed, instead have a savings target every month, it will help you than budgeting to play gamble. It's an abnormal act.

I think it makes no difference when you have to set budget for gambling with your spare. Maybe combining the two is the better choice.

But to say that it's a bad behavior when someone sets a budget for gambling. It's possible that whoever does that can afford to lose that money and that's just fine.

Anyway, we're all entitled to our opinions and sometimes that might not work for those who does but it could work for the others.

Even in such cases, many players become unsure, exhibiting strange behavior or behavioral anomalies. The problem is that some players begin to invent and do things they've never done before. I can easily recognize this from my close circle of friends, as I understand that many of them gamble, even if not for large sums, but they do it frequently and can easily lose their bankroll in a single session. And even if they know all the basics of the game and risk, that doesn't mean they'll adhere to them, especially when wagering.

Well I don’t see setting outside a budget for gambling. We’re talking about addiction, and even with your budget as soon as you’re addicted to gambling. You end up going beyond your budget sometimes.

It always starts small then turn into something you can no longer have full control of. Only takes the grace of God and discipline
