Topic: A call to self-examining our gambling habit. (Read 1258 times)

So its better to look at what people around telling us since it reflects our personality since we might not notice earlier that we are already affected much not unless there are so many people showing their worried and be vocal that we are doing to much on the gambling activities we are participating. That's why we should open for suggestion and will not became denial since this could help us to be save on addiction or other more worse that we can't imagine to happen.

Reason why I'm not a fan hiding my activities to my family since I don't want that there will be a day that I can't handle to much pressure and to late for them to interfere. That's why I always say that I am into this activity and they should not get worried about it since I'm only enjoying also not wasting any huge amount so there's nothing to worry.

I do this often to help determine if I'm actually getting addicted or not, or to know if am giving gambling too much attention. Most persons gamble and get addicted without them knowing they are actually addicted in their gambling, and that could be very dangerous as they might even upgrade to ful addiction. One of the best ways of examining your gambling performance its by checking your gambling activity for the month, if you are probably spent more than your budget even from profit you get from your wins, then making an adjustment would be a good idea. I believe frequent gamblers have in some point in their lives gambled more than their budget or even show some characteristics of an addicted by becoming greedy at some point.

After playing a game of gambling, a player must check how much he is attracted to gambling. Gambling habit is definitely a terrible thing that can make people addicted. That's why the habit of the players must be checked based on the time spent gambling and the extent of gambling addiction. These days there are many gamblers who are very much interested in gambling, and they gamble significantly to a great extent due to which they become addicted. That's why gambling time should be checked to see how long he is gambling and whether his habit has turned into an addiction. And a responsible gambler is always significantly more aware and never becomes addicted to gambling. So I think if a person can check such a habit then he will surely be free from gambling addiction and whoever cannot overcome such habit will surely become addicted.

I agree. We often don't see what others might see in us because we can't examine ourselves like another person can. So, if people around you give you some feedback about something you are doing or have been doing, you need to listen to them carefully and then observe what they have said, eventually, you will notice the changes because now you will see it with more focus which you might not have been doing previously.

If you are not getting any feedback from your friends or family about your habits or the changes they have been noticing, you should ask them yourself just to make sure, ask them whether they have been seeing any changes in you, your behaviour and your habits lately, and see what they have to say about it.

Self-examination, Self- evaluation this breeds a good, strong and moral background for any character, attitude, and habits this directs, improves our life more than we think. Because we are in constant motion of reflecting, pointing out our weaknesses and strength and how to build on them, this is very Psychological.
I believe if gamblers incorporate this as part of there routine, it would be hard for such gambler to be irresponsible and indisciplined because he keeps track of what he did right, wrong and how to reduce it.

Truly it a call ...... For Gambler Responsibility.

Yes, that might be a good way to do it, because usually those who are more able to feel changes are other people, namely the people closest to us, and as you said, we can ask them about whether something has changed within us, especially about interests. us about gambling activities, which can be known through the various actions we take, but yes I would say that other people will not be able to tell you everything in detail because they are not with you all the time.

This means you also need to correct yourself apart from asking other people. Gambling is an activity that can really make someone lose consciousness because of the many temptations that look tempting, and I am sure that not every time you are with your friends, especially when you gamble, means that your friends will not know everything about what you do when you gamble yourself. Therefore, apart from asking other people for help to ask whether our actions are too excessive regarding gambling or not, we must also evaluate ourselves and maintain various actions that lead to prevention.

Introspection is such a difficult thing that not every person can do it. You need to know who you are, what you want, and what you are ready for in your aspirations. Many addicted players do not have self-analysis at all, they believe that they are smarter than everyone else and this is probably the most common mistake of ludomaniacs. They think that they will outwit the casino, which has polished its impact techniques, its ways to get all the money out of the players.
But the casino is an ideal mechanism. Psychology, money, desires - everything is mixed up in the casino. And it would seem that the games in it are simple, but no. The math has been calculated there for a long time, and it plays against the player.

And if the gambler does not understand all this, then he is doomed to lose over and over again, like a bird beating against glass in vain.

That's right, if you really want a real answer to your self evaluation, maybe you need to choose someone you always hang out with or talk to and ask him what exactly are the changes that are happening to you. This is the way I do, so that I can know if I am exaggerating with my actions or not, sometimes because we make our image too beautiful in our mind, even though the truth is that we know that something has really changed, we just can't accept it so we always deny it, but if you ask other people, then you will realize that a lot of things are changing, it will be better for us to hear the truth so that we know what actions we need to take so that we don't end up in a bad situation .

We can do that by having discipline and limitation to control our habit in playing gambling. We can't lets ourselves gets deeper in gambling and makes our habit becomes worst, especially gambling can tempted us easily. We must prevents the addiction that can comes to us by doing something such as self control, limitation, discipline and many other things.

We must be aware about our habit in gambling so we will not becomes addicted to gambling. With self control, we can manage our time to playing gambling and will not trying to breaks that because we knows that can makes us lose money and the worst thing that can happens to us is becomes addicted to gambling. No matters if that's difficult, we must keep trying to control our habit so we can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Sincerely, people don't actually notice easily those changes in their habit. That's why I will always go for a self examination with other people around me to evaluate my habits. Few or more gamblers claim to run the self examinations themselves and get results. Yet, I don't seem to be convinced about this idea. Even the mirror don't define use clearly like humans or friends would.

Conversations plays a vital role in self examination. A friend could say, I notice you've been gambling way too much lately. It's a point that we ourselves may not be able to figure out easily. Even during the period you'd think you've not been gambling enough. So, while self examination is good, I think when it's done in group, fresh ideas would emerge from other people about our new gambling habit.

Agreed, it is also important that we monitor the habit that we always have of playing gambling. If we see that we are developing an addiction little by little, we should immediately take action to change it. That's why having self-control is a good habit.

Because if we can maintain and get used to it, we can for sure exit immediately when we know that we have won from our gambling because we have self-control implemented in ourselves as gamblers.

To add to simply just asking yourself these questions I would like to add that if one should simply write out the pros and cons on a piece of paper, as well as the money gambled, won, and lost, I think this will help this all feel a bit more real. Between that list of whats been wagered, won, and lost & the pros and cons about it I think it will help anyone make better decisions should they ever find themselves in a tough spot feeling the addiction taking over. At the end of the day you have to have the will power, self control, and the wit to know how to make yourself stop & take action! Always tell some folks you know in confidence to help you stay accountable & you will be one step closer to getting control again.

This is like I always say about gambling because of some experience that I have seen from different angles gambling need a maximum understanding of the strategies that is typically involved in it, gambling is something we should always take precaution, and know the steps that we have already taken and look back to know if it’s a habit or how is the situation of the gambling And how it’s really works Gambling and easily done habits which would definitely affect, I don’t really have much to see for gambling habit is not always advisable to us

Maybe everyone has felt the same thing as you mentioned, we must have gotten carried away and enjoyed a game so much that we lost track of time. It's true, by managing the time we can end a game at any time, which is easy to say, but most people find difficult to do. Because gambling is really fun, especially if we are on a lucky day and are in a winning position, it is difficult to just end it.

Whether you're aware that you're not yet] addicted. IMO, it's important to have yourself always on check.

You don't know if you're still in shape and you can really control yourself or not anymore and you're just trying to prove it based on your thought but without looking at some evidence.

There are gamblers that are in denial and trying to skip that part because they know what they are up to when they check themselves.

It is the opposite in fact, have you ever had a moment in which you had so much fun that time seemed to just move in fast motion and suddenly you realized that you have been partying, playing video games or whatever else for too long? Gambling can also produce that kind of feeling, so a person may feel they have been playing for just an hour or two, but in fact they have been gambling all day, it is because of this that we need hard-set rules, and whenever we notice we have gambled for as long as those rules state then we need to stop immediately.

It is a very good suggestion, I like the time thing, you should have a limited time when playing in a casino, this to avoid taking longer and making you lose more money, although the truth is I have tried that strategy and I can say that if it had only given me 10 minutes or even 5 minutes I spent the money equivalent to playing in 1 hour or so, so for this reason I thought about limiting the money to play, that is, I would allocate 20usd to play and if I lose it then it would not be a considerable expense but rather something uqe I allow myself to lose without affecting my life, I deposit them in the casino and with those dollars that I have for my gaming session, if I lose them nothing happens, I accept my defeat, but I am still stung or with more desire to continue playing, I must have the discipline to not make another deposit, because I would spend more money and probably not get the money back, but I would give it to the casino because I would play out of frustration.

Therefore, when one limits the money that one is going to play in the casino, one can consider that it does not matter if one suffers from many emotions because one can let them flow naturally, but once the money runs out, the party is over, it is not going to happen. more, and if you win and reach the minimum to withdraw that money, you don't have to think about it, you have to withdraw it and enjoy that money, without so many obstacles, that's what I have learned.

The point is, don't get into the habit of playing gambling beyond limits because everyone has to limit their gambling so that it doesn't end badly or cause a gambling addiction which makes someone become bad from their gambling habits. It's difficult to be consistent and also disciplined because everyone has different abilities in this regard, sometimes sometimes they can't do it consistently and can still make mistakes like I did when playing consistently and disciplined but still often make unnecessary mistakes.

It really takes time to be consistent and disciplined, even though it is difficult, slowly everything will become a good habit that will continue to stick and can be an important alarm to remind yourself when you play excessively. It is important to limit your gambling budget because we can know when to gamble and know when should I stop gambling, as long as it is done with strong determination it will definitely be successful, I also only use no more than 5% of my income every week for gambling, sometimes less than that depending on and adjusting to life's needs so as not to be disturbed by gambling.

Despite this, there are still many individuals who do not have a steady income stream who still use gambling to earn income. They think that they can make money from gambling like people who have been successful before.
However, their assumption is not correct because those who can make money from gambling are truly lucky people. They are the ones who have the opportunity to make money from gambling.
If they can think about it, they shouldn't have to try because it's not easy, especially since they also have to use more money which doesn't guarantee they can make money. They better think about other ways that can help them make money. Otherwise, they will just become addicted to gambling, which will be difficult to cure.

I agree with you that self cautious is good when we are gambling, but you should also know that our gambling activities can also be controlled by our emotions. There are somedays that you might just want to keep on gambling for a reason, and during that time you might not be able to quit, because you are enjoying the fun.

For one to be able to achieve self cautiousness in his gambling activities, that person must be discipline, and when you are disciplined, there are rules that you need to follow to make you disciplined. You can have a gamble budget like 2% of your income for the week, and also set time limits for your gambling activities. This will help you be on track with your gambling activities.
