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

[Vaculin]

There are actually individuals that get that feeling, That's another level of gambling addiction and it gets very risky if it continues,
It's best to avoid it, and to avoid it you have to avoid gambling addiction, we have always talked about different ways of avoiding gambling addiction in the forum like gambling for the right reason, minimising the amount of time we gambling and so on, so being cautious of these things will make you be in the right part and this topic will not be of your case.

That is probably the right word for it: addiction. It can feel like you have already fallen in love with gambling, to the point that you want to play every day and feel like something is missing when you cannot.

That can already be a warning sign because, as gamblers, we may be at risk in the long run. We might say it is fine because we are only betting small amounts, but if we already miss gambling whenever we cannot play, then it could be an early sign of unhealthy behavior.

It may not be serious yet, but it can still get worse if we do not control it.

Right, and a lot of people don't catch or observe it early until its too deep, as it put them in a situation that it will cause stress all because they want to make sure they bet a particular game, forgetting that in gambling anything can happen in the next minute and some people won't still that coming until they have fall into the pit that might make to act in a way that might lead them to more destruction, that will mess their lives up and affect them in a way they didn't expect.

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?

For sure this is just gambling addiction.  And if we should look into this fear of missing out is their and which the person have already made the decision gambling should be played every day and this decision can also increase ones urge about gambling and this is why it is very advisable for gamblers to have limit in gambling and to be conscious and for one to examine if they are going against their limits in gambling.

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.

Of course if one can resist the urge and gamble with a better limit and to gamble with the amount that one can afford then we can their is no addiction in this case.

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?

First is yo have the understanding of what gambling is all about andbif this under is unable to improve their gambling habits, then i will suggest for one to completely quit gambling because their is no point to keep gamnling when one is struggling with addiction and after every step taking their is no improvement.

There are times when gamblers feel they are missing something when they did not gamble in a particular day. For instance when leagues are on, many matches are played during the weekend, so when a gambler has missed to gamble during the weekend, he will definitely feel bordered because he feels because of the many matches they play during the weekend, is an opportunity to win bet.
But having the feeling that you have missed a win when you did not place a bet is wrong because gambling being what it is, even the most trusted game can fail.
Many of the gamblers are on long loosing streak even though they gamble everytime. So when you miss to gamble in a particular day, don't feel disappointed, but gamble when you are free, and focus more on other less risky investment than getting troubled for not gambling any day.

For your friend to think that he is missing out something anyday he didn't place bet simply means that he is addicted to gambling, and if I'm  actually correct, he can't control this urge because addiction is just like when a vampire is tasty of blood, and if the vampire have not quench the taste the vampire won't be satisfied. You can swear never to go back to your addiction but you will always find yourself going back when the urge comes. Connecting people addicted to something better won't even help them overcome their addiction. For me I believe one way to help people who are addicted to control their urge is to let them know what they are doing is bad and is going to ruin their lives if they don't stop, after then they should be taking to a place where they can't have access to do what they are addicted on, and people should always be around them so that when the urge comes the thought of the people around them will prevent them not to do it, and they will start overcoming it gradually.

Naturally, we should miss something about gambling for a particular day we are not playing a bet, if you remember this is all about entertainment and once we are not doing this for a particular day, it should definitely be coincidental not for something bad, but just for us to be able to attend on other things that are necessary for the day and gamble when we are in the best position of doing so.

Sometimes, what often lead gamblers into these kind of conditions is overconfidence. When a gamble is feeling too confident about a particular game and they fail to realize that nothing is certain as far as gambling is concerned and things could go south at any point in time just as you rightly said. The worst thing that can ever happen to any gambler is making a decision without actually thinking about the potential risks too, and this often where most gamblers miss it,

When you do have that overconfidence in gambling then it would really be a total mess on the moment that you would really be on such state because you cant just that stop on making up bets on which means that you would be betting or using up even more funds to make bets. Now on the time or days that you wouldnt be trying out to make up some bet and when that addiction or fond of gambling is high then you would definitely be having the feeling on being missed out on something important or simply you cant just that be able to fight the urge to make out some bets because you would be thinking that you might be able to miss some winnings if ever you would be skipping a day and thats a solid sign that you are addicted to gambling and thats bad. Whenever you do have already that kind of action and thinking then its better to have some break and to avoid that possible addiction along the way.

[gracreavix]

This is obviously a clear sign of addiction. And I think whoever that your friend is he has to plan when it comes to gambling. As the feeling comes he gambles. With that kind of feeling, if the funds needed for something important is in his custody and that feeling arises. He will definitely use that funds to gamble. I for one think the gambling addiction in him has reached climax. But there's a way to stop it.

He should find something very important to take his mind of gambling. He should set limit and practice discipline, one step at a time. If the addiction becomes worse that this, he should definitely seek help. For me, it's already at the peek of gambling. And he is continuously betting out of emotions and not for entertainment.

Another thing is that he has made it a routine and it is going to be hard to stop.  Like I said he should engage in something he loves that will distract him completely. He should have hobbies.

One thing casinos love is people like him. So they can feed of his FOMO being fueled by his addiction.

Not when the person is very busy with some really more interesting and or more serious or important stuff, if you are fully engaged in something that is important, and in the middle or process remember you've not gambled or place any bet for that day and you begin to feel anxious to quickly finish that which you are doing to enable you the time to go and gamble or place bets, then something is definitely wrong with you to be honest..

When I was working in one company back in the day, there used to be this dude who was also an employee in the company who once it was about 6pm, he would start rushing to complete his work, one day, I tried to find out why he's always in a hurry to complete his work and leave ones it was some minutes to 6 pm, then I learnt that he was a die hard lotto player and there was always a number that comes out exactly at 6pm, so this is why he's rushing to go check if the number played out for him, he was an addict no doubt because I can't number the times he was not able to come to work because of lotto..

So it is very possible that when ever gambling starts to distract us from our daily activities, that might be a sign to consider stepping back a bit.

[bhadz]

I am not that addicted to gambling to feel that if ever I don't bet for a day, I feel that I am missing something. I know that feeling comes once in a while but not too often that I think that I should bet on one particular match if ever I have missed it. But then, I think someone who's in that state needs to recheck themselves if they're still fine and able to be at the right thought with their minds. Because if they're thinking that they have missed things due to not betting, there's something wrong on them already or they're too attached to gambling.

[bakasabo]

I think we already have topic with similar content, where we have discussed situations when we dont place a bet for some reason, but often that unplaced bet is victorious, and we feel regret for missing opportunity. This is very common for us to remember bets that we possibly could have won, and we totally ignore bets that we possible could have lost. Thus this creates feeling of unbalance that we are better than we really are at making predictions. As to myself, I do feel a little regret for not placing a bet, but nothing that much to make tragedy of all that.

[suzanne5223]

I believe this is the feeling that every genuine gambler will always have at some point, especially when following the result of a tournament we didn't bet on and seeing an easy to predict and win match which could land us effortless cash. The feeling of missing out always kicks in, but in some situations, the feeling of missing out can also be the starting point of gambling addiction if the situation is different from what I explained above.

You are absolutely right. For someone to be constantly having such feelings when ever missing out a day in gambling seems something isn't right that really needs to be corrected. However, their should be a time for everything in life, time for business and a time to have fun, therefore missing out in a day or two as a gambler shouldn't be an issue unless their is something else that is pretty involved that needs urgent checkup.

[Dave1]

Just right now, I did go online and check my favorite games in roulette, but I don't have any money nor deposited some crypto. And just saw the numbers that I usually bet hit x500 so there was regret on my end.

But what I can do? I don't have any to deposit so I just exit the game and just read here and in the other community. Nevertheless, I'm ok, I will not be stressed by it and can sleep better knowing that there will always be another day to play.

I agree with you. There is no reason to think that by not doing gambling for a day you will miss any big opportunity. The game will still be there tomorrow but if someone feels restless just because they couldn't bet today it may be a sign of habit or addiction which is not a entertainment imo.
Being able to take a few days off without any discomfort is actually a sign of self control. Imo the important thing is to know when not to gamble than knowing when to gamble.

Well, for me, I know I wasn't addicted, but I would always love to gamble, I mean always. Almost all day, and I don't miss out on weekends, they are big moments and opportunities.

But then, I realized there was nothing coming forth. The more I gambled, the more I lost more money, even sometimes, money that wasn't meant for gambling, and it pained me. I decided to stop, but it wasn't easy, because we will always feel like there will always be paying day after you lose today, and so, we kept on gambling.

What helped me?

I got a job that was time consuming and stressful. Everytime, I was always out and moving, it was a transport work. And sometimes, I would get my bet ready, but before I could create time to bet it, games are already started, and slowly, I started letting go, and most of the games I forced myself to bet, u still found out that it will lose, and so, there was nothing different from when I was actively involved, and slowly, I saw it as a waste of money rather than an opportunity to make more Money, and so I refrained.

I think work that is occupying can help

It may not be serious yet, but it can still get worse if we do not control it.

For someone who cannot stay without gambling for a day, it is not just a warning sign, but an indication of overindulgence in gambling and such a person might be seeking to recover his losses which he incurred in previous days and already see gambling as a source of income. I have come accross a person who told me that gambling is his full-time job and he must gamble everyday. TBH this guy is far from living his best life and I can say his addiction is mixed with stupidity to not have any other thing doing apart from gambling.

Most of these guys have lost control totally, they need help fast, and the bad thing in most countries is that therapy is not easily affordable by normals or even non-existent in grossly remote areas.

There are some gamblers who regret a lot when they fail to bet on a match. They think that bet is a special opportunity for them. They try their best to provide money in any way. But when the bet is over, there is nothing. The reason for this is that the person who is betting is so addicted to gambling that it is difficult for him to stop betting. If a gambler cannot stop betting at any time after placing a bet, then he is definitely an addicted gambler. And an addicted gambler will try to continue betting as long as he has money. I myself have faced such a situation but since I was able to gain the ability to control myself, it was not difficult for me.

[Youngrebel]

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.

There are people that put themselves under unnecessary pressure, they overthink about the bets that they should have placed and worry if they missed out on an opportunity but there's no way you can know when you are going to win or the perfect time interval to place your bets. Feeling unrest like the moon will to earth is something that a compulsive gambler feels and sometimes it is not even about feeling like they are missing out on an opportunity to win they are just addicted to it and they find it difficult to stay without gambling.
