Have you ever feels you are missing out something for not betting that day?

[Perfectbaby]

Have you ever on your own feels that today or tomorrow that is a better day for you that you feels like you could be missing out something important for not placing bet that particular day?
Okay, a frown of mine who is a gambling addiction keeps saying that if he didn’t place a bet for any particular he feels like he is losing so he must find a way out to make sure he places a bet just to make sure he didn’t missed out that particular day not to gamble. But then, something very important and interesting struck into my mind that could it be the reason why most people especially those who are addicted keeps getting addicted or what?

However, can this thought be controlled by them, and don’t you think if they can control this urge then it is also very possible to control addiction.
What are the best ways to make sure they didn’t have this feeling keeps ringing into their hearts; for me I feels they should also be that concerned and connects themselves with something more better so that they wouldn’t be that having that feelings and mindset to keep gambling at all time. Do you think this approach could help out to those who are already suffering addiction?

I didn't experience anything like that, but the situation is different for people with a gambling addiction.
I do not think individuals struggling with addiction can control this urge.
It is impossible for those with a gambling addiction to simply occupy themselves with other things. People in such situations absolutely need to seek treatment at healthcare facilities. While engaging in other activities might suppress the urge to gamble in the short term, it does not work in the long run.

This is the problem with all dependencies. People become anxious and fall into various kinds of psychological breakdowns; someone is constantly depressed, while the other, on the contrary, becomes very aggressive and emotional. Any normal person can keep himself calm, realizing that if something didn't happen today, then today is not the time, and does not make a big drama out of it. But all people who are addicted to something will worry every time there is a certain time interval from their favorite activity. And then you can hear anything, from losing the chance to win to the fact that the moon will fall to earth if he does not place a bet today.

People who are struggling with addiction can't really control their urge, as their mindset has already be filled with with revenge, as they want to make sure they recover all they have loss and this will push them into losing more money and if they find it hard or difficult to control their urge, it will be better for them to seek help and advice from their loved ones and also from mental health facilities, because they will be in better position to render help and support but that will be effective, if one is ready to overcome and free themselves from the situation.

The worse case of it is to visit the therapist, that is if you noticed and understood that the addiction phase is much on that particular person that is why when it hasn’t gotten to that bad they can still occupied themselves with people out there or with other things I know that may take their attention. It’s actually hard to say or do but it only takes the grace for an addict gambler to have something else occupied their heart and emotions, because after when they might have come across their antecedent and how much they have spent gambling they wouldn’t be that free to let it go without being so aggressively to restore what they had already lost while gambling.

What I read on the statement you post is this is provably a sign of addiction, since you will never feel something missing out if you are not experiencing that state.

This is quiet risky because if this is continuously occur and the person cannot help themselves thinking about gambling, maybe they might come up with more disastrous situation.

I'm done with this state anymore and luckily I can afford not to gamble and think about any matters about this now. So better to have control and try to get busy on other things so urge to gamble maybe fades out.

Absolutely, only the grace of God can help an addicted gambler to be free from such thing, but if they discover or realized early that they are out of line, its best to occupy their minds with something else as you have highlighted because that will help or support them in regaining their normalcy. Though, it might not be easy at first but with consistency  and determination can also help them out because addiction damages one's life so easily that they might even be depressed or frustrated.

I have to admit that I was in that situation during my early gambling journey, I had like a superstition that I will be lucky in specific date/day LOL.
I feel so stupid if I remember that time  but I take it as a lesson as part of my gambling journey so I can be a better gambler by learning from my own mistakes.
After that moment, I learn that I should not be triggered by any superstition for my gambling and I try to be more realistic with gambling.
Of course it can be said as not a cheap lesson but thankfully I was not down too much and realized my mistake a bit faster.

[Maslate]

Well, I have not reached that certain point. I do gamble regularly, but in times where betting seems impossible, I just think that there could be other days to bet, and I never felt like I miss something or miss the luck or opportunity to win. I'm even okay not gambling for a week especially if my work requires a lot of time.

And controlling this kind of thought or gambling urge is not impossible. Gamblers can control their emotions if they really want to, but if there is more greed and the illusion to win more often is also present, then what your mind tells, your heart and your actions do not cooperate.

I’ve regretted not placing a bet on a particular game for one reason. But i’ve never regretted not betting on a specific day. From what i’ve observed, this stems from a habit often practiced by your friend, leading he to view it as an activity or routine that must not be missed and if he do miss it, he feel uneasy or as though you’ve missed out on something, just as you described. In reality, though, there’s no such thing as a “perfect day" for gambling, every day is the same, because whenever you gamble, wins and losses depend on luck.

If your friend really want to get rid of this feeling, there’s no other way than to fight it. Don’t focus on the day, focus on when you have the budget available, that’s the right time to gamble. It may seem easy, but in reality, it’s very difficult to do.

Sometimes the best thing to do in situations like this, whether the addiction has already become too severe or just mild, would be to seek for professional help, because some people who followed the path of looking or engaging themselves with other activities that would distract them from their current addiction, and yet they ended up getting addicted to the very activity they used to distract themselves, it’s just like jumping from one addiction to another. Addiction isn’t always about the activity itself but the mindset of the person or the victim itself. So the best thing is to help the person out of that mindset and not just taking him away from the activity itself.

If that’s happening to you, you are probably addicted to gambling and you need immediate attention from the professionals. Do not take this lightly. It has the potential to ruin your life very fast and irreversibly. You need to gamble way less and you can only do that if you receive professional help. Maybe talk to your relatives about your situation. They’ll help you out.

I stand to be corrected but i don’t think that there is any medical treatment for gambling addiction, which hospital treats such? If it was someone that is addicted to smoking it will be easier because i know they have nicotine pouch that could be placed on the body to suppress the smoking urge but for gambling i haven’t seen any treatment for it. The best a gambler can do is to indulge in any activity that will distract his attention from gambling, in my opinion, gambling addiction can only be controlled it can’t be completely cured.

If you are the type that likes gambling everyday and most of the time you are already addicted to gambling, losing big money is work in the process for you, there is no turning back anytime soon until you learn the hardway.

A responsible gambler knows that gambling is like a dance with the devil, that's why they need to time themselves and also have less days to gamble, I gamble twice in a week, even if it's a good week for me it won't make me change the days, and the highest time I spent on a casino is 1hr.

I like playing slots and once I lose my money for that day it's over, I will chose the website and wait for another time, you are in for addiction if you can't control yourself, a gambler with no strategy will go astray.

[Findingnemo]

While I am on the run and I decided to stop for the day then I get the temptation to try more but that is the sign or kind of a reminder to not to do it, I guess that might work with everyone who don't have gambling as their regular habit but do it once in a while. The best ways are don't get addicted to the instant money, greed, easy money and simply the money part.

Have you ever on your own feels that today or tomorrow that is a better day for you that you feels like you could be missing out something important for not placing bet that particular day?

I can relate to this during NBA playoffs season while I’m busy enough to visit my sportsbook account to place bet since I know I can’t do thorough analysis on any games.

This shit is always haunting many times until I just get over it by missing it many times like whatever I may lose too if I place bet during that period.

Skipping betting is much easier for me when I’m focus on something else that consider much important than mere gambling.

[Sammye3]

This feeling seems more like an addiction but not "chronic", maybe it could all be in my head too.

I would say that gambling is not always about profits and that one day you miss might not be your lucky day, on the contrary it could be your worst day, who knows? So its advisable to never overstep your priorities and principles with gambling and take every day as it comes.

Once you do get addicted then that gambling or betting urge is something that cant really be easily stopped and since you've been shackled with addiction then this is something which is really that very hard to control. If  you arent that good about self control and awareness of your actions then most likely you would really be excessively playing up gambling no matter what. Whenever you do skip out a day then you would really be having that feeling on missing out and you wont really be stopping on thinking that you might be able to miss up something on which you might really be that having the hopes that you might be able to win up that day but of course everything will really be just that depending on you on how you would really be able to handle up yourself.

I am quite sorry OP, I did not understand the question at all. But if you are referring to the statement of missing out on a particular betting day because I failed to bet on such day, then you are right.

There are some moments that I thought that I could've won if I betted on that day. But I always think that stopping rather than betting would be the best choice especially if I see that my finances are going overboard.

There was a time were my friends invited me to play on a certain land casino on our area which is quite popularly known in our country. I declined because I just felt like it wasn't my day at all. My friends won and I regretted not coming, however, I just thought to myself that winning nothing is absolutely better than losing something regardless of the value.

Yeah, that's true. Sometimes stopping for the day is already a win even if you feel like playing a few more rounds. That "just one more" feeling is usually where things start going the wrong way. I've seen people lose what they already made because they couldn't leave at the right time. and yup, the easy money mindset is really the problem. Gambling can be fun once in a while, but expecting it to keep making money is a different story. Having a limit before you even start helps a lot because once you're already caught up in the game, it's way easier to ignore your own rules.
